Beech trunk for sale

Tbh regardless of size coloured beech has never been in favour by mills.

White planking beech ,..mid 50s tonne delivered, oversize for blockwood same price. So as you say , firewood price.

 

Yes it was coloured, in fact it was the tree in my avatar.

That size of beech with that much colour has normally ended up as blockwood or props in recent years.

12ft circumference is 144 inches. 1/4 girth squared x length:

 

36x36x23 / 144 - 207 hoppus foot

 

207 hoppus foot at 26 cube to the tonne is about 8 tonnes

 

that's assuming its mid circumference,if it was girthed anywhere but midway on that log it would be miles out.

what did beech do to be such a despised timber??? as long as it's not to be used for exterior purposes it's a perfectly good timber in my book.

Agreed, it has no fungal resistance so useless outdoors, but I have an 8' slab at 3" x 40" in the yard destined to be my dining table in a few years

Because it's dull as sh!t

 

Some spalted beech is OK but plain beech is as bland as you can get IMO

 

 

Do like a bit of spalting, but I'm sure the dining table will come up ok with a bit of work....won't be a patch on my Holm Oak coffee table though....

We used to use it for pit props.

Quite sure oversized stuff was used in furniture.

Felled quite a bit in the early 80.s.big stuff that is

When we had a bobbin industry, clogs were worn by many and people bought hardwood chairs, including schools, and we had a 3 ppiece suite industry beech as very much in demand,...changing times .

Ercol, Vastern, Whiteleaf ( Goodearls) Berry , all past large users of beech for furniture.On top of those there were mills dedicated to cutting for the upholstery trade.

Thousands of acres were grown to supply the High Wycombe area furniture trade, good quality white beech.
