Price for oak butts

[The Ruminant]

Anyone know what the going rate per hoppus foot is for good quality oak butts?

 

We've fifty or sixty lying at roadside and a local buyer has just looked at them and picked out the best thirty. I've to measure them and give him a fair price for them - any indication what they should sell for? They're minimum 18" diameter and minimum 18' long

 

Many thanks

Are the dimensions you have given for the smallest you have or the smallest he has picked?

Are the ones he has rejected mostly smaller or just lower quality?

What is the size range like (how big are the biggest ones and what sort of proportions of the total are large like this or at the smaller end of the range, ie are there one or two big ones and a lot like the one you describe, or a fairly even spread, or everything no bigger than say 24" x 20'?

This will give an idea on what you are likely to get for the whole load vs. the split load and allow a fair price to be estimated.
