Timber collection & selling

[Arb-Aero]

I've 5 large ash trees dbh 900/1300/1150/490/510/880. Average height is 16m and the timber is mostly clean.

 

There situated in a location easily accessible by lorry and there's to much for me and my sawmill to handle, though I am milling the oak.

 

Im in Pembrokeshire and would like advise on who to sell to how much are they worth? I've other work lined up that will have more timber soon as well.

 

Cheers for reading this I look forward to your thoughts?

I can never sell large ash for milling. Couldn't even give it away last time- and the mill owner was there with his tractor!

If the heartwood is coloured, mill it.
If it's clean, mill it.
Either way in ten years time it'll be rare valuable timber.

At those sizes I'd go big.
3" or 4".
Then just sticker em and store them for years.
