I think I am in the wrong business. lmao OT

That was my first thought.

I once sold an old broken-treed saddle that looked like it (and possible had) been run over by a truck, for $70 to someone who wanted it for "decor"...

Okay, I am *definitely* in the wrong line of work.

 

[Oldmaple]

Yeah, but it's Kiln dried!

LOL.

Off to create a facebook Ad for authentic all natural fireplace ashes. "Give your fireplace a natural rustic look without the work!" 3lb bag for just $29.95

Don't underprice it. Just call it ashes from highly valuable walnut.

Probably imported...

Its Red Oak of some kind

It's like when you see that one stick of White Birch with a fancy
ribbon on it for sale at Home Depot at Christmas time with a $13 price tag.
Go look up Wayfair and type in decorative birch...It's crazy.

Here's an ad for some Birch off of Amazon...

$200... but shipping is free

• Every order is packed in a 12''h 12''w 18''L box full with wood.
• Aged, dried, and split firewood... available in several wood types.
• Kiln dried to sterilize, wick away moisture, and preserve the integrity of the natural bark.
• Each product is unique as this is a natural product and may not match the picture identically.
• Product of the USA. Proudly made in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

At least it is that from the US. I've seen birch at Lowe's from Europe... because it has an FSC stamp on it. No way it is more "environmentally friendly" to import wood from Europe than close to home....but it did cost a LOT less than that...but it was wrapped in red plastic netting instead of cardboard.

Okay, so it's established - red oak.

It's a pic from an ad (by Wayfair) for "Maple split firewood decorative logs" - only $66

I am clearly in the wrong line of work. I've probably got about six grand in decorative logs lying in my front yard...

To be fair, if you dug into it far enough, you'd find out that they had options - oak, maple, cherry - but that required developing an interest in not-maple, almost seventy dollar firewood...

Apparently some folks out there got more money than sense.

I work for Wayfair AND cut firewood. I'm upset they didn't come to me for a discount!

That is not red oak

 

[Jeekinz]

I used to buy bundles of birch (mainly for parties) at 7-11 for 5 bucks.

Where do you live? I live in the south never have seen birch anywhere 7-11 or the woods. Would like to though.
