Could be a good investment to buy a 24" or 36" Alaskan yourself? Would pay for itself in a day or two? 

if it not a one off Mark, i agree. do it yourself, it's more satisfying. i'm getting a bandsaw so selling my logosol M8 which is ok for anything up to 2ft diameter and will throw in my logosol timberjig which you can use for wider. no chainsaws in the deal though so you will need a decent one i suppose. not far from you in N yorkshire. 

(was the Armstrong bridge in Jesmond Dene named after you??)

HI Mark

Here's some pics of your logs. we've got a 36" alaskan which i'd love to play with again but no time to use it at the minute.

You should try Bill Pierce who is out past Hexham, i spoke to him a while back and he has a reasonable rate. 

Cant remember if he's got a bandsaw but he had a double headed 60" bar which would do the ash.

The Yew (now a little overgrown),  bottom stem is about 20" at base but splits after maybe 6ft.

Oak is 18/20"

Beech is about 30"

Ash logs are about 2ft and the big lump is just under 5ft at the crotch
