What kind of land resources are we looking for, Timberland?

The resources on the land could have the most impact on the success of this venture, and we will need financial success in order to expand, compete with, and eventually make obsolete the old system. I've been researching types of land and their usage. When most people buy land it is to use the resources of it in some way to pay for the cost of the land. To go in and utilize a small area of timberland seems like it would be an easier and good investment, but unlike logging, if we actually turned most of the wood into finished artistic products that would maximize returns...after cutting down the good stuff, leaving small regrowth, building organic farms in and a self-sustaining eco-city around the clear cut areas, demonstrate it's practicality, and maybe resell the whole establishment back to RBEers for a lot more than we bought it for, I'm not sure though, it would basically come down to a lot of wood working, and artistry, that would be the bread and butter job of the community. I'm looking on Ebay at small uncarved gunstock blocks of exotic marbled walnut wood selling for $300 and thinking hmm.
