I don't know how you get the logs so cheap Andy.

 

The Scottish market is a little stronger than us down here, but you could slap at least £30/t on those and sell them all day here.

Just good contacts I guess. Im gonna go and mill the same lad a couple of oak logs for another Trailer load of the same Larch Logs.

 

My wee workshop build is swallowing up Larch like nobodys business. As is all my fencing and decking. 

 

Did 4 hours milling for someone the other day in return for two Pippy Brown Oak Logs. 13' and 24" and 29" respectively. He was just milling them into cladding. [emoji50]

And another £20 a tonne on that here in the northwest, had 2 calls today for 2 small amounts of Larch and another earlier in the week,

Hi All,

It has been nearly 2 years since i ahve had chance to do any milling but am getting back into it and am looking at trying to source some hardwood logs, mainy log locally this weekend,

What is a fair price for good oak milling log around 600-800mm in diameter

and for the odd 1200 /1300 diameter log. 

(costs in hoppus feet ideally)

also what sort of money per hoppus foot / lump sum for a cherry log, 2ft 8" wide, no rot at all, straight and around 18ft long.

thanks in advance,
Ps any guide on costs for ash, and odd special sticks like  a big rare elm etc would be appreciated

Regards, John

£10 to 15 on the oak is its good.
5 to 10 on the cherry
