Last year, seeing an opportunity to bring higher quality and customer service to the firewood delivery business, Adam Rubin, right, and Ted Whitehead quit their corporate jobs — Mr. Rubin, 44, was a stockbroker, Mr. Whitehead, 43, a lawyer — to start thewoodman, an upscale firewood company based in Brooklyn.  They sell seasoned logs and logs that are kiln-dried with the bark intact.  “It has a golden luster,” said Mr. Rubin, who talks about wood the way a sommelier discusses wine.  “When the sun shines on it, it’s so beautiful we feel badly parting with it.”  (718) 554-3251 or www.thewoodman.com.
