Price of larch, Douglas Fir & Spruce


Recommended Posts

My word - such variation in prices?  And the difference between species?

 

Douglas Fir - is that more valuable than spruce of larch? 

 

I have been approached by someone I know reasonably well to fell these trees, and buy them off me. I was just wondering about roadside prices.

 

One other question: Assuming fairly easy access and other practicalities are sorted like the felling licence, what should I sell the wood for if he does the extraction?

 

Many thanks, Steve

There's a massive variation in standing prices from £30-110 a ton. A lot of it is luck. Is it hand felling or will you get a harvester in? Clearfell with a harvester will be a lot more than thinning with a chainsaw.

 

Felling licence could easily take 6 months and you'll need to have a replanting plan if it's clearfell.

 

Might be worth talking to pontrilas saw mills to get a bid (assuming you're in Wales).

I’ll buy as much as the piggybank allows. I’m getting to keep as much as I want up on his farm as I’ll be milling then moulding logs up there as I have a workshop there as well. Free use of the Avant if I buy 100t as well. 😁

 

 

You have got a good deal there, and here,s me struggling to find anything at the moment, Bio mass has F - - - - d it up round us as Jenkinsons and stobarts seem to be just buying it all up before its felled, even the small parcells so its become hard off late to source out, Rough keeps asking for Larch and DF but nothing to sell him, your deal is sweet so look after it and this time next Rodney we will be ,,,,,,

I think there on penalty clauses for under supply on some sites hence them buying and chipping good wood
