Totally thanks. He's been  around for ever and there is probably a message there somewhere.

 

I have the equipment, space, spare labour and am fairly good at promoting products. The mill is extremely low cost compared to most of our gear and the trailed 5.1m Woodlander version is attractive as I tend to change the layout here and re-levelling a small mill is a pain.

 

Got some nice Yew here also from Tree Surgery jobs and a heap of oversize Larch. Oh and some 30" Ash trunks.

It certainly would be a crime for such logs to be chopped for firewood.

2 Things that always sell well with not to much cutting involved and you can get up to 85 % out of each trunk. Waney edge cladding and beams

Ah I think I read your post wrong.  I thought you were telling me never to buy from you.  You were saying I have never bought from you I think?  I have never bought from most local mills - if you had surplus stock to shift at wholesale prices I might well buy from you Les!
