TYPES OF
FIREWOOD-TO-CUT SALES:
We
customize your sale to fit your needs as follows:
- Cutting
areas: All sales get their own designated site or
marked trees; no one else will be cutting there. You are shown a choice of exclusive sites within each location so
the sale can best meet your needs.
- Measurements
of volumes are either:
- Forester-scaled (forester determines
quantities): Standing trees selectively marked for forest improvement
thinning and measured. You may get
volume overrun.
- Buyer-scaled (buyer measures quantities):
Trees are marked or designated and the cut wood measured on loaded trucks,
recorded and reported to the forester.
- Wood
type: you can choose species and either:
- Dead wood: Seasoned mixed-size wood
that is lighter to load and haul and in many cases already cut down. Some wood is left after sawtimber logging or
blown down.
Insect-killed
wood is usually treated on site before removal so there is no danger. May have some mixed green wood.
- Green wood: Concentration of marked
trees in new cutting areas, allowing most efficient cutting.
- Seasoned wood: Pre-cut wood seasoned
for several months either in the woods or in stockpiles. Our premium wood.
- Special
sales:
Involve rebates or trades for special harvesting work, chainsaw woodcutting and slash hauling. Ask for details.
- Normal
time limits (flexible): 5 cords-2 mo., 10 cords-3 mos., 25 cords-5 mos., 50 cords-8 mos. Other quantities and products have similar
time limits. Sales starting late in the
fall may run into the next year
