Carvers wanted - $2 (Hydesville)

This is some helpful information a client posted:
“A cord of wood (128 cubic feet stacked) typically weighs 2,500-5,000 pounds depending on species when dry. Wet or “green” wood weighs significantly more due to moisture content - usually 4,000-6,000 pounds, sometimes reaching 7,000 pounds for dense hardwoods. At $2 per pound for wet wood, a cord would cost $8,000-$12,000, potentially up to $14,000 for heavier species. This pricing would be extraordinarily expensive compared to typical firewood costs of $200-400 per cord.
But why this listing matters:
• Carving-grade wood at $2/lb for green wood is actually reasonable for specialty lumber
• A whole tree means consistent grain and color throughout
• Green wood is preferred by many carvers (easier to carve, shapes better)
• Linden/basswood typically sells for premium prices at lumber yards
• Local pickup in Humboldt County saves shipping costs
For woodworkers and carvers, this is specialty material, not firewood. The pricing reflects its value as craft lumber rather than fuel.“
