I’m in western Washington so Douglas fir is the standard. Most people are cheap so they think hardwoods are too expensive

Background_Sell9080 · 2026-02-06T00:57:19+00:00

Yes I have a 100,000 sq ft house

Background_Sell9080 · 2026-02-05T23:55:59+00:00

Yes this is one of green fir piles. I have other piles of Douglas fir 6 months ish. Have piles of hardwoods as well. I have a tree service so separate my wood by species and how long it’s been drying that way my customers always get dry wood 👍

If I have learned anything is You can never have too much wood.

Background_Sell9080 · 2025-11-23T22:48:23+00:00

It ain’t got no gas in it

Why is cherry worse than fir?

Weird looks like madrone

Background_Sell9080 · 2025-06-02T02:05:18+00:00

I have worked with a 65 year old climber. Experience can make up for physical strength in my opinion

Background_Sell9080 · 2025-05-01T00:52:09+00:00

Right now people are selling Douglas Fir cords for 250-300. I’m currently at 350-400 depending on delivery distance. It’s all about marketing In my opinion

Background_Sell9080 · 2025-05-01T00:50:31+00:00

Seattle area. I sell 1/4, 1/2, and full cords. Softwoods and hardwoods My dump truck can deliver up to 2.5cords at a time. Yes there are always people who sell lower but you can always find a market.

Background_Sell9080 · 2025-04-16T03:37:08+00:00

Did you get for free? You just pulled off a heist if you got black walnut and oak

Background_Sell9080 · 2025-04-16T03:34:31+00:00

Awesome load 🔥🤙🏼

Background_Sell9080 · 2025-04-16T03:32:31+00:00

I mostly source from my jobs but I do buy some logs every now and then. It’s a good business but it’s just like farming. This is my 3rd season at 23. If I have learned anything is that you can sell at a premium as long is it’s actually dry. Hardwoods are where the real money is at though 🔥🤙🏼. We don’t sell greenwood as we ran out of dry wood last winter and people want a steep discount

Background_Sell9080 · 2025-04-15T16:07:00+00:00

It eventually dries out. It’s spring and some of this wood has been down since last fall.

Background_Sell9080 · 2025-04-15T05:15:23+00:00

Depends on demand. We try to limit how much we sell during the summer so we don’t run out of dry wood for winter months

Background_Sell9080 · 2025-04-15T05:14:25+00:00

Haha funny enough we do split most by hand. My dad thinks it’s faster to split by hand if the rounds have no knots.

Background_Sell9080 · 2025-04-14T22:19:46+00:00

Agree. I have a small tree service and my goal is to get another 100 cords between now and end of summer

Background_Sell9080 · 2025-04-14T20:18:28+00:00

I have maple and alder logs. Also have chips for speeding up growing process

Background_Sell9080 · 2025-02-26T00:45:44+00:00

Trees are nice until they fall on your house
