A friend and I started selling last year. He has prime spot on the hiway right down the road from a state park. We sell a lot to campers and keep lots of small piles just for them. Park charges something like $11 for a pile half as large as ours. we charge $10 but some people just give us $15. We get about 10-12 "camper piles out of every 4x8 rick. Not bad money that way! It kept all my bills paid and had a bit left over for a few beers! Every weekend we were cleaned out! A lot of those people saw our sign but didn't stop and found out what the park was charging for there couple sticks and they came back to us. We started selling by the load early last year and I put a stop to that as there are too many variables in bed sizes. We also sell by the 4x8 rick and get $65 for those. We also charge $80 a rick for oak, locust or Hedge apple because those are the best BTU woods. We were sold out completly by December last year. We get the wood for free here in town from an old fellow who wants a small woods on his place cleared for more grass yard. Clean wood is nice, but when I stack it up to season, I get lots of spiders! I also have old sheets of plywood cut in half lenght ways and cover the stacks, keeps the rain off and helps it dry faster. As far as seasoning goes, figure two years for oak and one full summer at the very least for most everything else. Tossing it up in a heap isn't seasoning! Stack it so the air can pass through. Dead trees aren't seasoned either unless the tree was sitting up totally off the ground for over a year. Standing Dead trees will still pull water up as high as 10 feet in the trunks. Be very careful cutting standing dead. Watch out for falling limbs or even the whole top to come crashing down while you are cutting, it can and does happen! With the economy the way it is, I would only take cash. Too much work to risk a rubber check.
