You’re right. I have no idea about that. How would I?
Last time I bought a cord of wood, split, ready for the fire, and delivered, i think it was in the ballpark of $300 USD. But that was a long while ago in the pacific northwest.
Oh fuck, just to add… The pine boards I just bought from Home Depot said “product of Sweden” and it was the cheapest boards they had that were suitable for my project.
How come I’m paying a nickel a foot for your lumber but you’re paying an arm and a leg for your own raw timber? That’s some bullshit, man. The world is weird.
Yes, here too if you get creative. One season, I paid a local tree service company $100 bucks and they dumped their logs in my yard. They were 8 foot long sections, anywhere from 10-inch diameter to 3 feet diameter (Pacific Northwest). I bucked it all down with a 16" inch gas chainsaw and split it with a maul. Took forever. My hands and back ached at bedtime every night. But when I was done, i had three-plus cord stacked and drying all for $100 bucks.
Nothing beats the forest permits tho. A lot of work, but the price is worth it.
You have no idea how expensive firewood is in Europe.

How much wood is that? *Nvm i found it, it’s 3,62 cubic meters. I thought it wasn’t a unit of measurement.
1,5 cubic meters of birch, ready for the fire cost between 180-250$ right now in sweden.
I would assume that we have an insanely low price compared to the rest of Europe. We practically consist of wood and lakes.
You could also buy what we call “long wood” for less than half and chop it yourself.
