TYPES OF
FIREWOOD-TO-CUT SALES:
We
customize your sale to fit your needs as follows:
Firewood 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 with best choice of access and tree sizes.
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 and slash hauling. Ask for details.
Normal time limits (flexible): 5 cords-1 month, 10 cords-2 months, 25 cords-4 months, 50 cords-6 months. Other quantities and products have similar time limits. Sales starting late in the fall may run into the next year.
