Seasoned cordwood - lack of planning?

[Mark Bolam]

I notice a lot of people are after seasoned cordwood.

 

On a larger commercial basis, ie artic loads, does this really make sense?

Unless someone wants to leave their cord stacked roadside for a couple of years, it means extracting it, hauling it, unloading it, storing it, loading it again, hauling it again then unloading it again.

 

I appreciate that buying in green you will have to wait a bit for a return on investment, but double-handling on this scale seems mental to me.

 

There are such things as foresight and planning....

Some people have no idea what goes into selling logs Mark, they just think oh I know, I will buy some wood and sell logs and make loads of money. I pity them. Do they wait till they have had a crap to buy big roll??

[Mark Bolam]

Hahahahahahahaha!

[skyhuck]

I often have part seasoned timber, it comes back to my yard over weeks, months and years, I then sell it by the arctic load.

 

So not all seasoned timber is the result of bad planning.

[Mark Bolam]

That's not what I meant Huck.

I meant people with no seasoned timber to use for this years logs.

Green roundwood firewood is gold dust this year so seasoned must be rockin horse ****. Know folks with a lot of billets stacked up but not roundwood.

On topic - yes Mark lots of people have been approaching me recently for cord wood, even end users who want to buy lower priced cord and process it themselves for burning wood for this year. I have considered buying in an artic as im sure I could sell it but dont have the storage space.

Anybody serious about selling logs will be taking green timber now for processing summer 14. The timber they have processed will have been bought end of 2011.
