Price for milled cedar

I agree with se7enthdevil's figure of about £30 per cubic foot.  However I would say that is a price for selecting a few boards and only for decent quality ones at that.  I would say that if the buyer is interested in the whole lot the price should come down quite a lot.  It is worth remembering that selling timber is a very time consuming business and to shift that lot to a variety of customers is likely to take months or years, hence it is only fair to drop the price accordingly.

 

Also I think everyone is assuming this is Cedar of Lebanon (or one of the other similar cedars like Atlantic Cedar).  If it is Western Red Cedar I would say the value is much lower.

 

I hope this helps.

Is Atlantic cedar worth anything ?? I’ve heard folk raving on here about it but when I’ve tried to sell it or pass it in to a mill they have not been interested and told its vastly inferior to Lebanon cedar?

I would say difficult to distinguish the timber from C of L.  Both lovely timber though very knotty usually.

I agree with squaredy , I’ve milled a lot of cedar with my team over the years, and it’s dried quite differently, opened Up. A tree I’d milled two yrs ago and struggled to get two decent planks,without shakes, but others dried perfectly, bit hit and miss so as above, in saying that,always looking for cedar ha ha

I have  9 or 10 boards 12' long by 2 and a half inch Deodar that I felled and bought a chainsaw mill to plank it because it was too good to ring up for firewood. Sold a bit via Gumtree but have about 40ft3 left if anyone is interested

I am always interested in buying quality dried boards such as you have.  Where are you though?
