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.
PREVIOUS CUSTOMERS
Add to your sale or start a new one in the same location. We will reserve your area when possible from year to year so you can continue to have the cutting area you want.
A sales contract defines job specifications as to orderly progression, low stumps and slash treatment. Most sales have security deposits and possible extension fees to guarantee job quality, timely completion, and security of restricted cutting areas. Normal deposits equal $50-$150, or $5/cord, and are refundable upon meeting specifications.
Note: Quantities are limited & prices are subject to change. Initial sales may be limited to 5-25 cords.
