Western Hemlock sawlogs

[Tom at Heartwood]

I have opportunity to bid on some quite decent western hemlock in Lancashire. Standing at present. Straight stems and not too fluted, 300mm to 500mm range at a guess, could be cut to any length.

 

I'm sort of interested but it's away from our regular milling of larch and Douglas fir. If anyone is looking for logs or has any suggestions on markets and marketing then I would be glad to hear.

 

Cheers, Tom.

Common Uses: Boxes, pallets, crates, plywood, framing, and other construction purposes.

 

 Sounds about the same kind of quality as Spruce?

Great flooring

Great framing timber

It's one of the biggest timber products in the Pacific Northwest. 

 

Pretty much everything is framed in "Hemi" on the West Coast.
