Wanted: Cherry, Alder and Sweet Chestnut 'Bars'

[LewisB]

I am looking to buy Cherry, Alder and Sweet Chestnut 'Bars' by the lorry load.  We have a tight spec, but it can be worth the extra work since we pay more than "firewood" prices for it. 

 

Spec: 

 

• Length 3m +/- 20cm (other lengths to order only)
• Minimum top diameter 15cm
• Maximum butt diameter 32cm

 

All timber should be as knot free as possible, 1st length type material (no top wood), it should be straight within reason with no butt flares, rot, dirt or metal contamination

 

Delivery will be to Harlow, Essex. If you want to discuss further please PM me.

 

Thanks!

Out of interest what do you do with them that demands that spec?

Did you get anywhere with this Lewis? I need some alder myself

[LewisB]

No, I didn't unfortunately.  I am very interested in finding at least a lorry of Cherry and another of Alder.  I have some lovely Sweet Chestnut in the yard at the moment.

Ok thanks. I managed to get hold of some today but it wasn't enough for what I need.

Funnily enough, I just got a load as well.

Like waiting for a bus...
