Anyone make grade stakes/survey stakes/ hubs of any sort have the opportunity to get into making silt fence stakes for an excavation company he wants 1x1x4’ hardwood no knots any kind of point 45 or pencil tip I’m going to turn a bit next week for making a 30 degree point then just buy blades put it on a motor and give it a go... from everything I’ve read seems there’s a market everywhere from land clearing to tree nursery. I get lots of tree service wood that’s usually 4-5’ long so I could pick the “better chunks and saw them up. Just wondering a rough idea on a bundle of 20 or whole sale of x amount
