Oak worth anything?

[MattyF]

5m to first fork by 1m log interested to know to give him a fair price if I buy it for my mill but have seen oak prices vary wildly and it does have a few smaller branches on the 5 m straight length

I was thinking around £200?

Id be a bit worried about that Brown rot. You get something out of it but suspect you could loose a third to that. Hard to tell from pics but I have wasted a lot of time milling oak with end grain like that

Was chasing it up off the stump , I recon another 8” and it will be fine bill... didn’t want to cut any more off! And I had taken a tooth off the 88 with a stone on the stump.)

Sweet well long as your sure. Other end and branches end grain look good?

Can't help terms of price.....it always seems like too much by the time you got it back to yard and milled up...

Probably worth around £400  ( approx 80 hoppus foot @ £5 )   but if you can get it for £200 and both of you are happy then all is well !!!  Also depends how clean you need to leave the site .

What are the opinions on the smaller branches on the stem decreasing value ?

Bet there would be some killer grain patterning in the large union near the top. Where is it?

In a Feild in the north Tyne valley nr Hexham ,Northumberland mate.
Next door have a huge stack of oak that Scott’s turned down , chatting to the guy and he said as soon as there was any branch on a trunk they are not interested. He was getting good money for clean sticks but he looked at my photos and said that’s fire Wöod laddie! Shame as ring count was about 250.. I would mill it for posts before fire wood though.

Nice to see the 395 is still working well, that must have been 4 years ago now!
