I had my "wild 80 (acres) in Wisconsin which was mostly
covered with mature 80' - 100' Eastern White Pines (Pinus
strobus) and Red/Norway Pines (Pinus resinosa).  They were
awfully crowded, and I had an expert lumber guy look at them.
He arranged for a very talented lumberman who cut out
$8,000 worth of trees with amazing surgical precision.  there 
is a good market for such pine, and when stained well is
virtually identical with Western Red Cedar which is double the
cost.
 
It was an unexpected bonanza back at a time when I was putting
two children through college.
 
I should hasten to add that this was not a virgin pine stand, but
rather a fine second growth grove.
