You’d think hardwood would stand the test of time for furniture and the like?!

I've gone right off hardwoods in recent years, especially since returning to forestry. Slow growing, awkward to fell, doubly awkward to extract and riddled with quality issues. I also feel that the figure in larch, cedar, douglas and many of the other softwoods is at least as pretty as your run of the mill hardwood.

I've never had a problem with beech infact it sells out quicker than elm! mills well, exceptionally strong and widely available. 

 

we have 50 slices 3000x700x50 in stock and happy to mill to any length and size  up to 45'

I'm glad you're able to shift it. My customers always wanted elm and oak and second to that, ash.

I can ask the estate thats trying to flog that 10m long Oak Log you spotted on Gumtree if you like? Im sure I could get you some Beech cheap?

 

Or if you're after something a bit more seasoned I have a few slabs thats been air drying for a couple of years. 2" and 3".

currently have two staircases and a kitchen in beech this week without trying. we will be handling 400 to 600 tons of beech this year as we'll use it in our workshop, the timbers good be a shame to waste

Cheers Andy that would be appreciated, I'd want to start from scratch and mill the whole log. Top slab will be a decent lump for sure. Gonna copy a one that's in a local butchers.
