0-2 Arrow wood lumber <I NPCed this>
2-7 1/2 Luan Lumber <Used in Luan Shields>
7 1/2-10 ash poles and ash clubs <NPCed poles for slight profit and desynthed clubs for more ash lumber. got more breaks than wood so a loss there.>

i did take the luan lumber and crafted a few luan shields for a few .2 skill ups.

This is a pretty nice and fast way to lvl 0-10 in an hour if gil provides. Also kinda helped it was windsday... >.>
I think I just did Ash Log => Ash Lumber from 2 to 8. Ash logs are cheap from the NPC, and the supply is unlimited if you have airship pass. You could try and load up on the logs and then get image support until you hit level 3 or 4. But as cheap as the logs are (and as cheap as wind crystals are these days), it's probably just as well if you sit by the airship dock NPC and crank these out.

Ash Lumber is used in so many different recipes, you should be able to AH these. Given that it's used for making status bolts, stacks of these should sell fairly quickly.

I think I did Bronze Bolts (small loss) for one level after that, and started status bolts (Acid, Sleep, Bloody) at level 9. With advanced image support, it's not a bad way to go.
