Bulk kiln dried oak firewood

[Big J]

I've got a fairly hefty stack of nice processor grade oak that isn't moving as quickly as I'd like. I'm looking into getting it processed and dried in an effort to more easily market it. 

 

First question, would anyone be interested in bulker loads of kiln dried logs? 

 

Second question, what price would it need to be to make sense? I'm not looking to make much money from the drying and processing, instead I'm looking at it as a means of shifting roadside stock. I have done this in the past with (predominantly ash) sawlogs, getting them planked and then sold on.

I've been trying to sell bulk loads the last few years, I've got a few customers but most only want it in late winter when they run out because there's more of a margin cutting themselves. A lot also want it bagged which is a lot of extra work.

 

For kiln dried we're £70 a cube plus vat collected for bulk loads. Not sure how competitive that is but it's only a sideline to the main sales so I'm not too worried if it doesn't sell.

I'd have it in the round if we weren't the wrong end of the country.

£70 m3 in bulk should make a bit for everyone but unless you're the kind of log seller only buying bulk and not processing yourself it's not the ideal time for it.
