To Those With Wood Stoves:

HEY THATS MINE! Yep its stolen. I can tell its mine because you can see where I beat on it with my splitting maul and didn't get it split. I've got a pile of them at home. I wonder how much that pile of dirt I have is worth.

Well after reading this I realized that it's a pile of furniture that needs to be dealt with out by the garage. Furniture is my wife's responsibilty. I'll put it on her todo list.

Wow, this is a classic thread. I have, by my calculation, burned $2,316,485.32 in the last 20 years! Waaaaahhhh!

Seriously, how many do you really think they sell. I can't be many.

I like where it says it comes "fully assembled".

Hmm. . . I've heard of people makin' firewood out of tables, so maybe this is the reverse. I would dearly love to know how many of those they'll sell at that price.

We might be surprized on the number they sell. Let's say you imported 2 cargo containers full of weathered/pressure washed/acid cleaned? cypress logs - er tables.

The ratio of cypress log tables to high-end condos and apartments would be quite low.

People looking for an unusual touch or certain decor in a large city don't have many places to go to acquire such a thing. If you are living in a $2 to $3 million and up apartment, $200 is probably less than you tip the doorman at Christmas.

I think they will sell them and laugh all the way to the bank.

The double irony of this whole thing is that I saw it in an article on MSN about "Creating a Stylish Mountain Retreat for Less".

I wonder how much UPS would charge to deliver up the mountain? Ironically I had to cut trees down before they would attempt to deliver at my place. That's where my pile of furniture came from.

If you guys want a real deal, I'll sell you one even better, stained, painted, or natural. And I'll do it for half! That's right! Only $99.00. And if you call now, I'll even throw in free stick.. er.. back scratcher too valued at $25.00. You'll be getting a table, and back scratcher for for only $99.00!! That's a savings of $150.00! If you call before midnight, I'll even through in some natural ash from a real fireplace. That's right! Real ash from a real fireplace! Act now supplies are limited.

A took a workshop titled "Non-lumber Forest Products" essentially it dealt with all kinds of products other than lumber that can be brought out of the forest and sold.

The instructor was selling decorative bundles of white birch with a ribbon to all the high-end apartments and condo buildings in our Capital city. They have electric and gas fireplaces but people like to have a pile of logs beside them for Christmas decor.

He was averaging around $1200 per cord based on the volume and he had repeat customers each year as they would toss out the bundle after Christmas...
