Looking for hardwood - Essex

[Ben Y]

Hi all, looking for some straight lengths of hardwood - oak ash hornbeam ideally. Approx 20m3, anything around 1-4ft diameter.

 

Our firewood supply for next year is a little low at the moment, need to bolster our reserves.

 

Can collect with avant and trailer, happy to pay going rate for green timber of course.

 

Or if anyone knows anyone etc.

 

Cheers!

Hi what is the going rate these days for green timber ???

Why straight if its for firewood?

He probably has a processor like a hakki pilke and wants to process timber economically rather than knotty arb waste with every peg and ‘handle’ left on it!

We just haven’t had many fells for a few months and need a bit more out seasoning for the next years sales.

Nail on the head there!

I see, thought he was using a saw but it shows that fire wood suppliers are running out now and demand going up.

I think supplies are running low in some places. This coincides with people being at home more and using their log burners/stoves. Personally I’ve burnt more this year as my other half is at home at the moment on furlough and she likes the house a tropical 24 degrees, she’s burning the wood quicker than I’m cutting it. Over the last couple of years I seem to be taking less large trees down and more reductions and smaller tree work so less timber about maybe
