If its bespoke then 2 ways to do that. They buy the tree or trunk at an agreed rate between you and its £30 per hour milling it. Or just come to an agreed price both parties are happy with

Was just wondering Les as I have already milled and stored a quantity of 6x6 and 8x8 for a TF build that’s probably not gonna happen for the foreseeable future. Truth is the income off selling them would be welcome at the moment. What’s the rough current cost of Douglas fir per cubic ft ??

Hmmm any jobs which don't pay minimum wage?

moaning that your not getting any government handouts and now quibbling over how much money you might be able to earn in a job that’s a stop gap till your trade picks up again ?
