Anyone sell cut to length slab wood? What price do you get for 1/2 cord? And does it need split or just cut to length? I have a lead on a decent quantity of slab wood. Just wondering if its worthwhile.
most of the time slab stuff is pretty thin and about 50% bark. burns very fast and hot ( what I have left is all red oak). you could make small bundles very tightly held together in a trough or such to lope it off with a chain saw, but i found a small portable table saw (10") was faster and safer than bundle approach- still makes a mess.
This might be the going rate in your area.. if you have a reliable source, my suggestion is to place an ad and then cut to order from your source. Less moving and no need to hang on to inventory. Hardwood Slabwood - farm & garden - by owner - sale
My buddy @jbsawman sells a dump truck of full length slab woods for 50 bucks it turns out to be about a cord and it’s primarily black locust…when i ran out of seasoned wood it was very clutch..
I can get some ...maybe a PU full about half hour ride for me one way. I considered it, but havent gone yet. I get most of the scraps from buzz-saws mill too. I think its worth it if most dont require splitting. I was going to mix the nicer stuff into bundles. Lesser quality goes for cordage. I only take the hardwood unless all or nothing.
Its nice getting to skip the splitting process…i filled up the van with all black locust in about an hour of work it was quick felt like i got a lot outta of short period of time and its burning great
The slabwood he got was cut off logs during the summer Brad some is thin and dries quick and some can actually need split JB
@50$ a cord picked up in length is what I get 65.00 a load delivered local all in length 8ft to 12 ft JB
