Pricing other species

[Big J]

We've been here before I think J.

 

I'm measuring the cube and doing the pricing on the sawn output after all edging and discards of sappy or structurally unsound timber, rather than an initial hoppus measure of the log.

 

£3 to £4 works really well out on site milling customers timber. But that's when I'm not doing the log handling, crosscutting, slab, firewood and dust handling, timber stacking, trimming to length, sticking, banding.

 

That's a very fair point.

 

If it goes into stock, I stick a bit more on it. If it air dries, it goes up some more and if it gets kilned, some more again. Thankfully I don't deal with too many 'single board' customers these days, so timber is often priced on an approximate stack measure (roughly hoppus) but at a reduced rate. I just hate handling timber needlessly!
