Can you make money buying seasoned wood to resell? #77

In this video I explore the possibility of buying seasoned firewood for resale. My helper Jose has a lot of well seasoned wood that he is interested in selling. I investigate the possibility of buying his dry wood for resale. Since my seasoned wood is running low, this may be a win/win for both of us.

I do it all the time Dick, some people even call me a “firewood broker”. When I buy processed wood I need to make at least $50 per face cord profit.

Hi Joe…thanks for watching. You were one of the first channels I started watching, and one of the channels that made me decide to start my own channel! I agree with your $50/face cord profit as a minimum.

Thanks for watching Jeff. Jose has been helping me for several years with my part time landscape maintenance business. He’s a great worker, a great man with a wonderful family, and he has become a great friend. I’m blessed to have him.

Good work Jose in getting all that firewood split up. You have some beautiful trees on your property. Sounds like a great deal for you Dick and for Jose as well. Nice to have some dry firewood this time of the year. Take care and have a great day!

That's a good score Dick, and an even cooler splitter you made back when I was born😂😂😂 you've been doing firewood a long time brother.
@oldguyfirewood
@oldguyfirewood 10 месяцев назад
Damn Jack… you really dated me with that info 😂. I actually quit doing firewood (sales) from about 1985 until 2020 when I got my first commercial splitter. It was a good fit with my part time landscape maintenance business I had been running since retiring from my “real” job in 2003. Chainsaws and wood splitting gets in your blood! If you get a chance watch my very first video from early 2022… it gives you some insight into how I got back into it and how I got started in RU-vid.

Dick, I had just finished delivering my first cord of wood when I could no longer ignore my spleen I ruptured the day before. Needless to say, I was disappointed I couldn’t fulfill all my orders. Therefore, a wood reseller contacted me to buy the rest at the price I was asking (cheapest in my area). Reluctantly I agreed. So I know what it feels like to be out of dried wood. It will take awhile for me to heal up well enough to start again - but this year’s a bust. Glad you could help Jose out and visa-versa.

Hi Mark. Great to hear from you my friend. You’ve certainly had your share of medical issues that have slowed you down. I really admire your determination to heal and continue to do the physical things you want. You personify my “keep moving” motto. Hang in there and remain determined.

Us old guys [71] need all the help we can get. I used to sell wood but, don't anymore. Too much work and I live in an area where everyone has wood. I would have to drive 50 miles to sell it. I met you at the Bunyon, I think you were at Eastonmade.
@oldguyfirewood
@oldguyfirewood 10 месяцев назад
Hey James. I remember meeting you at Bunyan. It was getting harder for me also. I’ll be 75 in January. The Eastonmade 22-28 splitter with the box wedge and conveyor has me producing more than I ever did and with little effort. It is keeping me going!

Hi Jeff. you will be seeing a lot of the 22-28 in future videos! The 12-22 is a great machine and it would have suited my needs except it would require a separate conveyor. The attached conveyor on the 22-28 is ideal for my situation. Thanks so much for watching.

It's also interesting. How many folks just want bundles over bulk wood. I have 3 guys at work that don't want a 1/3 of a cord sitting around at their house. They'd rather me bring them a few bundles before the weekends😂 which is fine with me, that extra work that goes into making them is worth it.✌️

@oldguyfirewood 10 месяцев назад
I guess we're living in an age of convenience Jack. People are making good money and they'd rather waste it for the convenience of not having to handle and store it. I don't understand.

Everything was neatly stacked and nicely covered. That was a great score for you Dick. Everyone could use a Chris at woodchucking time. Cheers Woody !!!

Hi Dana. Yes it is. Too many firewood guys have no idea of their tru overhead/costs. That's why we continue to see low pricing. Those guys go out of business, but unfortunately there is always another one that jumps in.
