Customer fighting to get this monster cookie in the van this morning [emoji28]

What sort of price did you sell that for? If you don’t mind me asking?

[AJStrees]

Not 100% sure what you’re asking but if it’s who’s buying green oak for Mantles then I guess this guy. 🤣 I offered the dry Standing Dead at £450 or the Green at £300. After discussing how none of my Green Mantle’s in the house have moved an inch he went with the Green. 
 
This 8”x8” Mantle above my Esse Ironheart was A knotty green firewood log. It sees constant heat blasting it day and night. Not budged. 
 
I also milled a green Mantle 6”x4” for my daughters bedroom and it’s not moved either. 
 
This might be because I’m using the heartwood from much larger logs than the mantle is?

How do you work out the prices? I’m keen to get the right money selling oak slabs, etc...

I know board feet has been discussed on here a few times. But some websites are selling oak slabs smaller than ones I’ve got for almost 1k each.... crikey big money.

They might be selling them for that or they might be advertising them for that.

Even half that price would be big money TBF, IMHO.

Just now I’m asking £100-£125 a cubic foot for nice oak. Just milled this today. 12”x6”x1.2m £200. Gotta round over the edges though, but if a faf but an easy £200. The log owes me £60 and I’ve 70% of it left. 😁
