People who dont know about wood.
Think you get rich.
When you let them cut it off your land.
You Dont. You get whats called stumpage. Its not that much.
I help a guy that cuts firewood. I'm the chainsaw for his operation most of the time.
He gets semi-loads brought in. Basic 8' lengths from upstate.
It is LOTS of work and it will not make you rich.
...and that's downed, branches removed, easy stuff.
I do it for firewood, not money. Good exercise, camaraderie, etc.
Once in a while, I'll cut a tree and take the wood "for free".
It is NEVER worth it.
It is a favor for in the end. Not for me... the guy getting rid of the tree.
Please seat yourself.
I like the very things you hate.
