    That's great news (I hope)! 50 acres, wow.
    Can you get helpers with saws and trucks? At least it's not summer. Good luck and keep us posted.

    Hi, ive been selling part time here in Southern Conn for a few years to a handfull of regulars. Just started Craigs list in Dec with somewhat limited inventory. I have two gas stations i wholesale .75 cubic foot bundles to. Lots of competition around here.
    I would try selling in small batches ie 1/2, face, 1/4 cords. Not being familiar with the wood market in Florida i would limit your investment. Im not trying to make a living doing it, a LOT of hard work with minimal return. I work with just 3 saws, an axe, and my F150. I have a simple wooden jig i made to assemble bundles, works great. An automatic bundler is expensive.
    If you enjoy cutting, try doing some chain saw work?
