Current prices for Cordwood

[T.C]

Dear Arbtalkers,

 

How much is the current rate for delivered hardwood. A mixture of Ash, Sycamore and Beech. I have a couple of interested parties. Just want to get a fair price for everyone concerned. I would be delivering it in manageable lengths.

 

Many thanks

How are you making money at that price?

Good question.

 

We paid in advance for mixed broadleaf wood but only oak was on the load. May get some money back but not holding my breath. We have upped our prices to £100 per cube so not a complete loss.

how do you and your customers get on with oak? personally I find it to be difficult in every respect....difficult to cut, split, season and burn but that could just be me!

Sorry TC for slight derail.

 

Cuts and splits like butter when fresh. Burns great when dry

 

Slow to dry and not much volume per ton

interesting. I went to see a customer the other day whose log shed was full of dry oak. he wanted beech from me and was going to give the oak away to the chap who works for him. he's got an open fire and he reckoned that the oak just smouldered and filled the room with smoke.

Back on topic mixed hardwood prices are between £40 and £50/ton roadside up here in n yorks

Any yet peeps keep insisting on tonnage

Herefordshire prices are strong very strong getting some real good deals further afield . £38.00 tonne on 18 month seasoned beech never been happier paying on weight. 42 on Ash . Yes you got haulier on top but it's still cheaper than buying in county. Got larch 10 inch down £28
