Seasoned Sycamore

[AWarb00]

Hello All,

 

Just a couple of questions.

 

I have a lot of split seasoned (for over a year) sycamore, which i am wondering about selling at roadside.

 

Firstly, will people buy sycamore, I burn it myself in a stove and open fire and quite like it but what is the general view about it?

 

Secondly, i would be selling these in 10kg net bags, what would the average price be for this? I was thinking for 1 bag for £5, and 5 bags for £20?

 

Thanks in Advance!

Yes people will buy it! It's great firewood: clean burning and not much ash but it does burn a bit quick like birch. Price wise depends what the goin rate is in your area but £5 seems to be retail price round here for most netted logs

THE least labor intensive wood going . Seasons quick , splits easy peazy and burns a goodun . Like it .

It needs to be seasoned then used fairly quick as it "goes over"quicker than say ash, especially if stored outside.

What do you mean by goes over?

Gets lighter, seems to go porous so will reabsorb moisture quicker, loses some of its energy, basicly starts to rot. Over the peak in the seasoning process.

I have had sparks coming off my axe as it bounced off seasoned sycamore.

It may well split easy when fresh but it goes damned hard when seasoned.
