Had to order some timber in as we have sold out and do not want to be short next season.

Should keep you busy

nice green oak by the ton, ouch

[Treewarrior]

Well, not too much work on at the moment. Had 2 big jobs scheduled for January and both have been put on hold so I decided to put my money into the future and invest in logs for the future! Need to do some serious logging now.

How much did it cost if I may ask?

[Treewarrior]

£39.00/ton x 26 tons yes big ouch but think I'll get 60 cube out of it @ £80.00/cube. Not so much of a big ouch more like a lot of grafting!

[Joy Yeomans]

are you sure youll get 60 cube out of it? i would have thought more like 1.5 cubic per tonne????

£39.00/ton x 26 tons yes big ouch but think I'll get 60 cube out of it @ £80.00/cube. Not so much of a big ouch more like a lot of grafting!

 

Like you say `a lot of hard grafting` aim for a minimum £100 per cube.

[Treewarrior]

Even at 1.5 cube a tone conservative estimate, I'll get 39 cube which gives about £3000 which is £2000 profit as I do all the splitting so no labour costs. Any more is a bonus.

I aim to charge £100/cube from September. Have held my prices to £80.00 this winter.
