How long do you let it season after cutting down before selling it?
Thanks
Thanks

A year of seasoning seems about ideal for most species of wood. I sold 16 facecord (5 1/3 cord) green wood to a guy who (gasp) actually planned ahead and wanted to have wood ready for the next winter. That seems pretty rare though b/c most people just wait until the last minute and need to have it ready to burn as soon as it's delivered.
4-10 months covered on top from split and stacked to ready to sell. Depends on the wood, the weather when it was cut and the handling of the green wood.
Dead standing is ready immediately, usually.
If it won't burn easily or clean in my stove or campfire it isn't ready to sell.
Found this one and it makes me think I will be making a trip south...

Rule of thumb is a year with at least 8 months of that being after the wood is split too final size. This covers every spieces but oak as far as I'm concerned, oak needs 2yrs too be at it's best.
Around here, two years gets your oak starting to sprout things. Too humid to hang around much longer than that! 1 year is about the best it's going to get.
