Help needed with roadside timber

[guiton]

 
I really only pay attention to chip and oversize log sizes/specs, all I cut and leave complicated stuff for the machines.
 
Do u not use a forester or someone who markets/sells ur timber?
Otherwise ask Mendip if he is going to e doing work for u.
He'll know the craic locally
 
Otherwise speak to ur local saw mills who u'd hope to sell it too, get there prices and specs.
 
I'm just a grunt on a saw so all this is above my paygrade but I know even with similar saw log specs one mill wants them arrow straight while others take almost anything.
 
Possibly with the current demand for chip, boimasss and lesser extent pulp mibbe not just quite as critical as it was in the past to cut loads off small sizes.
As 10 or 20 years ago u could hardly give them away and sat at roadside drying out.
Althou I think eurodisney/trash still cut 13 odd sizes on some jobs.
 
 

Thanks for your reply ! That’s really helpful. All our big hardwoods go to a local sawmill but he’s not keen on the softwood. Il speak to roger again and see his thoughts are and your right ideally we only want a couple of sizes the rest go for bio. Makes it easier for us.
Cheers for the advice and no ones just a grunt on a saw [emoji1303]

As has been said, don't cut any timber to length until you know what size the mill or haulier wants? You could waste alot of valuable timber.
