Hey all, I've been asked in the past for firewood to be cut into 12" pieces. Knowing that a CORD is 4'x4'x8', the guy thought he should get my normal full cord price. I had to explain that I normally cut fw into 16" pieces which then creates 3 ricks (1/3cord) into a cord. By cutting into 12" pieces (1/4cord) I would have substantially more time (30%) into processing a cord and that I would have to charge more. He basically called me a crook and we went our seperate ways. I think I was right, and I was trying to be nice...but I don't want to cheat anyone...and I don't want to cheat myself either.
I don't sell a lot of wood per year, but I've always offered "custom cut" to a customers desired length. Most take the standard 16" but some want longer and some want shorter.
I'm curious if any of you have had a similar situation. Or just to know what you would do if presented with this situation.
Thanks AS members!!
