Seems an obvious question??

I always wonder how much it costs those who buy in cordwood / timber to produce a dry cubic meter / dry net etc of hardwood / softwood?

Could the smaller / medium suppliers buy in the finished dry product from someone producing say 8,000 tonnes a year cheaper than you can make it yourselves?

Taking into consideration everything labour, all the machinery, breakdowns, fuel, consumables, storage, all misc costs you forget about and not forgetting all the head aches that go with it.

I think some would carry on regardless due to it being a way of life?
