Hello all,
I own about 30 acres with about 28 of it wooded. It has your normal mixed hardwoods, oaks, maples etc. It hasn’t been logged since around the 30’s. I am very seriously considering getting a band mill and start sawing my own wood. I’d like to sale enough of what I cut to cover the cost of the mill.
I don’t want to do this as a living. I teach school and have summers off. I think this could be a summer job. I could cut when I want and do other thing when I want. I will not be doing this alone. I’ll have help.
I guess I’m asking for advice, pitfalls, pros and cons of such a venture.
