Good price?

I have been offered 1.5m3 of hardwood logs (uncut) for £50. I know this is as bit of a how long is a piece of string scenario, but how many m3 would this roughly be once processed?

At work we sell 1m3 seasoned hardwood at £80 and 2m3 at £145 so somewhere between there i would imagine from what other people on here say it varies throughout the country on prices. What wood is it?

1.5 cu m!

1.5m3 uncut is still going to be 1.5m3 of cut logs, surely?

1.5 ton for £50 might be a better deal.

Not realy because you can fit less raw logs into a 1.5m3 than you can split logs. The raw whole lengths are more of an ireguallr shape and will have lots more air gaps.

Assuming these are whole logs, not chopped and split as being "uncut", and that they occupy a stacked space of 1.5cubes then ... x by 0.7 (30% being air gaps), then x by 1.5 to convert to stacked split, then x by 1.66 to convert to loose tipped load makes about 2.6cubes. This is based upon a European standard where the logs are split to a certain length (33cm I think) and assumes a certain uniform diameter of precut log. BUT if your uncut logs are over/under sized, twisty and tipped for 1.5cubes then it's anyone's guess.

Think 1.5m3 of tidy roundwood would weigh the best part of a tonne so £50 for that sounds pretty good. Cost that much when you buy by the artic load if decent hardwood.
