Grow Chestnut Tree Wood

Start a chestnut tree wood farm.

Wormy Chesnut is about as rare as hen's teeth.
In the south, heart pine is selling for 8-10 per board foot because it is a good hard pine that comes from trees that cannot be harvested, they almost went extinct. Chestnut has been extinct since the 1930s and what made the wood "wormy" is what caused its extinction.

... it would sell for $15 per board foot to $20. A board foot is 1 inch thick x 1 foot wide, by 1 foot long ...

... I would pay $15 a foot for it if there was enough to do my living room which is quite large.
