I'm sure I could sell some slabs around here--these woods are full of cabinet/chair/furniture makers. BUT given the time and costs of milling, is it possible to come out with some pocket jingle?
I don't intend to pay for any logs. Simply take the gimmes and there's more of that than I can handle. Gimmes will be mostly red/white oak, cherry, walnut, poplar, maple, and such. I also have access to bodock, black and honey locust, eastern red cedar, persimmon, hackberry, elm, hickory, beech, and others. Had a butternut once--but it was on the ground too long when we found it. I'll keep my eyes out for another. Also have yellow buckeye.
Just wondering if theres a chance of recovering some of the costs in this hobby? I have too many hobbies where there's NO chance of breaking even.
I know it's addictive and I haven't gotten rolling good yet.:rockn:
I'll be consuming most of my own product in buildings and such...so I'm not just hunting up a money scheme.
