that would be nice ,if i were rich i wood have my own small bit of wood and cut it in a rotation to supply with anoth fuel to heat a log cabin that i would have as well ,my boss bourght a 50acre wood 5 year ago for 70grand had some nice oaks planted in the 60s to make a valuable crop one day and lots of hazel and alder i been cutting the hazel to a ten year rotation and marked the oak to be thinned for split rail market and marked final crop trees with blackband(spray paint)and just kept the wood in shape .he sold it to my dissapoitment was nice place to work a few months ago but i was happy when found out they doubled the money on it,the work i done probly didnt have much affect if any on the price of the wood but good as far as keeping it managed.
