Question
Has anyone had much experience with milling and using hackberry? I cut one log a year ago and it came out nice, but I don't know if it has any real value on the market. I now have possible access to several more logs, and just wonder if they are worth cutting. Does anyone have any thoughts?

From contributor B:
It is a good strong hardwood - used a lot in furniture manufacturing (structures inside couches and etc that are not easily seen). I have also seen some beautiful turnings from it. It also spalts well. Make sure to mill it soon after felling the tree and dry it quickly to keep the color.
