afternoon all,

I have been contacted by a prospective client who has had two beech trees felled in his front garden, they have been "worked on" already by somebody as the pictures show, access is good for mobile mill or Alaskan. The only negative is the proximity of a public footpath near the logs, and the quality of the remaining timber that you will have to work with.......

 

I do not want the job for a variety of reasons, but if anybody seriously wants to help this bloke out, please pm me and I will give you his contact details.

 

Tim

I have a mobile mill just south of Ipswich but if I'm honest that looks like firewood to me there's not a lot of useable wood in it would cost more to mill that the product he will get out of it.

Andy,

I  agree with you, I have just been asked to find someone who would be prepared to convert these logs, I have advised owner it would be questionable as to economic viability....but as we all know.. the customer is always right!:lol:

 

Btw..they are(were) apparently 6' in dia.

Fixed that for you.9_9

 

You just know that that stem is going to be a mass of soil filled pockets and occlusions:scared1:

I don't think it's worth the hassle tell the customer that and move on with it. I'm sure everyone else will say the same and it will end up as logs as they need it off their front garden [emoji2]
