this year the firewood business is taking off for me, more demand fr logs than I can cope with, just how I like it!

I'm not into buying cordwood to process, I prefer to recover it myself. I was talking to one of my customers yesterday, who happened to be a arboriculturalist and he gave me a phone number of a man who he said was an agent who sells woods and forestry. He told me he thought his clients with small woodlands would be keen for someone to take out first thinnings and storm damage, because saw mills are not interested in small plots of land (five acres or less).

I'm not sure what to think, would I actually be doing him and his clients a favour, or am I just phoning a stranger and asking for something for nothing?

2 months ago i secured a deal to go in and thin and remove windfall from a private 7 acre forest, its all softwood but I recon i am onto a winner! The client wants enough for next winter and i get the rest.

 

I hope to make a start in April, or before if the ground dries out, I am really looking forward to it! I recon you should dial the number and see what they propose.

If you would some impartial advice let me know.

Who is the agent out of interrest. It sound like a good deal.

 

No deal yet, just a customers suggestion. Thanks SMG, could you PM me your number again, I can't remember where I found it when last we spoke.
