  22. never really bothered with selling firewood / logs befor and buy the looks of it it dont seem to be worth doing basicly i have saw up 50 25kg size nets of logs mostly sweet cheatnut cherry and ash thats been sesond for about 12-16 months have had they advatised for just over a week at £3 a net havent even shifted one net so far and thay are well fild up that there are just about bursting the nets thought is was a good idea to start of with nets as my transit body is 12ft long x 7ft4 wide with 2ft deep sides so my truck would hold slightly more than over seller so i would probely have to be more expensive to make is worth the work can get plently of sesond apple wood from a furit farmer that i work for evey so often at very small cost
