Be interesting to know how you get on with the softwood. I'm doing the same this year, mixed in with hardwood, very dry, just need to tempt old timers who don't know how good it actually is.
We went fully over to only producing the softwood about 2 months ago and it's already been a success. It's about 40% softwood to 60% kiln dried hardwood at the moment. Only had 2 people moan that we're not doing seasoned hardwood anymore so far but they both paid the extra £20 a went for kiln dried. We will see!!

I'm not sure, works out at £72 a loose cubic metre when buying it in imported.

At £80 a ton your looking at £53ish a loose cubic metre before you've even touched it. When you add on everything else there's not alot in it I would say.

Only paying £60 up here for hardwood so nowhere near that cost per cube. I’m working off something like that figure by the time it’s delivered to the customer! We’re lucky in that the timber handling gears main cost is covered by other parts of the business so that is greatly reduced.

Good to know my maths was spot on with the cost per cube for imported though. Stil £30 a cube in it for us at that.

Which supplier do you use by the way?
