Cord prices

[Brushcutter]

Hello

 

I'm new to buying wood in just for firewood as i've normally gotten by on tree surgery waste. A local estate has some Oak and Hawthorn sitting ride side in 8' lenghs. How much should i be looking at offering for the wood if they're willing to sell?

 

Thanks

to be honest..with the market as it is, "offers" are out of the window......they will know what price they want for it and it will be pretty much set! that doesnt answer your question i know, im sure someone else will be along who knows the latest rideside prices though

OK Here's a question which I am slightly embarassed to admit I don't know the answer to.....

 

How much wood is in a cord? how long is a cord length? and where does the name cord come from?

[Doug Blease]

I used to know when I used to buy beech in cords. I will look through records and get back to you. Unless someone beats me to it.

Googled it.

 

"A full cord is a large amount of wood. It measures 4 feet high by 4 feet wide by eight feet long (4' x 4' x 8') and has a volume of 128 cubic feet."

Should be £39 + vat delivered. If we pay more we wont make anything. If prices keep rising I will give it a rest for a year or two. I cant charge more for the logs people have little money in their pockets as it is and the price of oil is low. If cord wood keeps rising they will kill the market for themselves.
