WANTED: Beech 'Bars'

[LewisB]

I am looking for 50 tonnes (two loads) of Beech cut to the following spec:

 

• 
  Length 3m +/- 20cm (other lengths to order only)
  Minimum top diameter 15cm
  Maximum butt diameter 32cm
  

 

All timber should be as knot free as possible, 1st length type material (no top wood), it should be straight within reason with no butt flares, rot, dirt or metal contamination

 

As usual, I appreciate this is a restrictive spec, but we can pay more for it. Delivery will be to Harlow, Essex. If you want to discuss further please PM me.

 

Thanks!

I also would be interested if anyone has such spec, based midlands ! PM me, sorry to hijack but the thought of that nice straight timber is just too much !

What use do you have for that size Beech Bars?

If we can get them to that spec it allows us to use them for different products.

It is not easy to source Hardwood Bars of this spec.

Just curious, but what products do you make from Beech Lewis?

Yeah I appreciate it is harder to source so we pay more for it. We turn it into many different products, we have milled some, chipped some, logs etc.

In the South of England Hardwood bars of that size are around £ 70/T delivered.

 

What sort of price do you have to pay in your region?

[LewisB]

We pay a similar price per tonne, sometimes a bit more.

I am surprised you will pay that to use some for Chip or Firewood! How do the costings allow you to pay a high premium? Thanks
