In fact, many people are now gravitating toward buying
small log homes. So, you could grow
trees on your property and easily use a portable sawmill to cut the lumber you
would need to make such homes. All it
takes is a sawmill, such as the AC-36, a bit of time and possibly the
occasional help of a structural engineer to make sure that the buildings are up
to code.
Of course, that may seem a bit to difficult for you,
as a beginning sawyer. However, it is
something to think about down the road.
For now, though, you still have plenty of things that you can do with
your portable sawmill. For example, you
could simply cut lumber and sell it by the board foot.
Southern Yellow Pine tends to sell for 45 cents to 75
cents per board foot. One tree can
create hundreds of board feet. In fact,
a tree that is an average of 16 inches around and 32 ft long can create well
over 400 board feet.
Another option is that you can grow Hickory, Red Oak
or other types of trees. Many of them
are sawn to make crossties, which can sell for about $20 to $25 each.
There are many other options for a good sawyer with a
good portable sawmill, too. What else
can you do with your portable sawmill?
