So a friend of mine had some Poplar trees taken down last winter...
He probably should have sold the logs, but instead he cut & split the wood, probably 2-3 cords. At the rate he burns wood, it'll rot before he uses it. He keeps asking me to sell it for him, but I don't have a clue what the price should be (For reference, Oak sells locally for $180-200) or a customer who'll want it. He's not unrealistic about the value, just thinks he should get something in return for his time & trouble. Any ideas on how to make it "go away"? Mix it with other woods & sell as mixed hardwood? sell it as straight Poplar (dirt cheap)? Other thoughts???
Oh, one more thing, the "just drop it off at my house" comments will NOT be considered helpful.
