Oak price

[percy verance]

Hi. I chap I know has asked to buy these oak stems for milling. I've cut them to his requirements of about 2.4m and the big one with the chainsaw on at 3.4m.

 

The big one is 38" diameter and the the other tree is about 28" diameter although the bottom section has some rot starting in it.

 

I'm not sure on prices for milling so if someone could give me a rough price I'd appreciate it.

 

It's track side in a wood if that helps.

 

Thanks in advance.

Always best to agree a price before felling and cutting to length ( payment first preferable !!) .... as a rough guide 5-6£ per cubic ft ...

Thanks. One was a wind blown so had no choice in it coming down and the other had to come down for safety reasons so they weren't felled just for the timber.

It's not great quality, but not bad either. I'd pay about £5/hf

I'm selling mine way too cheap then most of my oak goes at £3 £3.50hf

Well then give me a shout next time you have some decent oak!

Accessibility is always a big factor when buying trees, the more difficult they are to get to and recover the less I want to pay.

I've just priced one up at £3hf as access is across a waterlogged field and through deep muddy track.
