You only get lighter from long leaf pine, nothing like it. Old stumps can't be cut with a saw either. Adding water, is much like how a brown cow eats green grass and produces white milk!

I've gotten lighter from plenty of other types of pine trees.
Resin versus turpentine
None of those have turpentine.
Turpentine is a byproduct of the distillation of pine resin.
Rosin would be another one.
Yes, Virginia, a grower can sell 20 -25 year old slash or loblolly for chip and saw, mills just prefer (and often pay more) for slash.
In reality, the price you receive is often dependent on how close the mill is. Prices have gone up a bit since we have had so much rain.

I'm talking about other pine varieties. There is a vast difference between long leaf and the other pine varieties. Fat lighter is long leaf pine, big difference. Sand pine grows along the beach and thrives in sandy soil where it is found. They have survived many a storm. Pine by nature snaps, whether it is sand pine or any other. None are good close to a house or some other structure. There are mills close to this area.
The closest mill is in Panama City (or more specifically Parker). The next closest mill is in Perry and there would be no reason for them to cut trees here as there are plenty of timber lands close to Perry.
Local Mills
Yeah, Parker is the closest mill.
There smells like there is one Pensacola, but I know there is a saw mill in Thomasville, a pulp mill in Cedar Springs (plywood mill may not be open), a mill in Jackson County and a mill in Havana.
All the rain has made harvesting more difficult and increased prices.

There was one north of West Bay, don't know if it's still there. Tree farming is a tricky business now a days. Difficult to keep the peace. There are also mills in Crestview I believe.
