I have a client with 2 redwoods 25-30m, one has been dead 7 + years the other died this year.  
We could get it roadside in 3m or 5m lengths.
In 15 years I have yet to sell any arisings for anything other than logs or biomass.. Is there any value more than £23 a ton for biomass?
The client thinks it must be worth £1000's. I have sent him the black walnut video...

In short...yes, it's worth more than £23 a ton for biomass. The hard part is finding someone that wants it but it still isn't going to be worth £1000's. Probably looking at around £40-£50 a ton. It will obviously be worth a good bit more than that if slabbed up but again, you have the issue of finding a buyer but also the additional expense of getting it milled

He has yet to respond... 're video..
 
I know the client socially and enough to have a joke.. I am trying to help him out but you know some people's expectations..

All too well. I had a customer ask if I would be paying them for the timber from some conifers he wanted down. I said I could leave the logs with him and he could sell them himself if he liked. He seemed to think that I would have a list of contacts that would snap my arm off for some crappy old laydandii. I didn’t get the job and the conifers are still standing 2 years later. Works quite but not that quite.
