Making timber from 4 by 2 timber off cuts

[grahamc]

I might have the chance in buying bulk bags of mostly 4 by 2 off cuts from a timber manufacturing company. There might be some 5 by 2 and 6 by 2 in it as well, all cut to 150mm long ready to put through a kindlett machine. How many of you make your kindling from similar material rather than cutting softwood bars down to size ? I’m guessing it will make very good kindling, but probably more labour intensive stacking all the off cuts on the in feed belt, as opposed to round material. How many nets could you expect to get from a 800 by 800 by 800 bulk bag, ie half a cubic metre, and what size nets would you use ? Thanks for any help.
