Contract with a tree removal service to buy their trees, saw and sell for lumber

SAE:

Description:

1. Sawing and marketing lumber is a great project for a person if a small amount of land and investment is available.

2. The demand for rough-sawn lumber is increasing due to the high cost of planed lumber and the high-quality available from today's band saw mills.

3. Many hardwood species are available from tree removal services and the lumber is worth much more than pine.

4. Old-growth pine may also be available and it also brings a premium price.

5. Delivery can be made directly to homeowners or they can pick up.
