Old Growth Mill works with finite material. Trees are not produced on a schedule. They are documented as they become available through storm events and recovery. Because of that, availability cannot be treated like retail stock.
Even after a tree is documented, outcomes are not guaranteed. A tree may be evaluated and determined unsuitable for milling. A log may open and reveal internal defects that reduce usable yield. In some cases, the correct decision is to stop.
Availability is also affected by timing. Storm-fallen material has exposure considerations, and milling capacity is finite. Documentation happens in stages, and allocation discussions happen privately when appropriate.
This is why Old Growth Mill does not present material as guaranteed inventory. The correct approach is through tree numbers and direct inquiry. The tree number keeps the conversation specific.
When availability is limited and non-repeatable, the honest position is clarity: nothing is available until an agreement is reached.
Practical takeaway: documentation does not equal availability. Availability is determined by evaluation, capacity, and agreement.
