You've probably heard of treasure hunters searching
for gold. In fact, many people went west
for the California Gold Rush years ago.
There's something to be said for a good treasure hunt. However, if you really want to make money,
portable sawmills are better than gold.
Why? It's
simple. Trees that you can see are much
better than possible gold that you can't see and may not even have on your
property. In fact, with a good portable
sawmill and a piece of property full of trees you can have a much more reliable
"gold mine".
What would it be like to look at your property and see
lumps of gold lying around right on the ground?
Well, now you can, except the "lumps of gold" are trees. Of course, different trees and different
lumber types have different values.
However, no matter what region you live in, you can easily get $.50 to
$.75 per board foot for lumber.
An average Southern Yellow Pine that is 16 inches in diameter and 32 feet long can yield 416 board feet. That's just one tree. Multiply that by however many trees are on your property and all of a sudden it will be easy to see your "gold mine".
Also, remember that there are many things that you can
do with lumber. You could simply cut
lumber and sell it. However, you might
also choose to use some of the lumber to make and sell log homes. You could also opt to cut crossties out of
certain types of trees. Crossties are
currently selling for over $20 each and a single tree can yield 3 or 4 of them.
