Where I'm at, dry fuel grade wood is selling anywhere from $45/cord up to $70/cord for 8' wood, roadside. That doesn't involve any cleanup of slash. The roadside price takes into account the cutter's wages, the forwarder cost, and a very very meagre stumpage value. I wouldn't say the stumpage value would be any higher than $20/cord. That said, around these parts, hardwood is plentiful and cheap. There is an abundance due to most people going after the high grade veeneer and sawlogs. The rest goes into the firewood pile unless they're hard up, and some more will go for pallet wood, which pays about the same or less than firewood. If I were you, I'd find out what stumpage values are in your area, and decide what your time is worth. Base your/his share on that. Rod
