If it is any help I would charge them at £10 each roughly.  Assuming I had 3m logs of course.  If you have longer logs I would charge for the length the logs are.

 

If you are just trying to cover your time however you might want to price them differently.

Thanks thats a big help I need to be pricing similar to everyone else just coz the logs are from another job thats some  of my profit and I can only get 3mtrs through the mill at the mo need an extention but £500 kinda put me off buying one from Woodland Mills but got to do something .

If you have them left in stock thats your bonus, still charge the same as if they had come in for the job, both customers pay for them and your mill extension  is a good way towards being funded.

Im charging £30 a cubic foot for Larch and £15 a cube for other Softwood. That comes out at £6 a length for Redwood. Id simply not bother my arse for that so Id also want £10 each to make it worth my time. 

 

It really depends on how desperate you are for the sale. Not that fussed then a tenner each. Want the sale more than the customer does? £5-6 each.

Not that arsed I have a use for the the redwood I have left and milling boards for a fiver each Stuff that

Then ask for a tenner or even £12 each, the worse they can say is no.

Redwood 3m 6”x1” planks….

phone any large sawmill for a quote.

you’ll be shocked at the prices.

£10-£20 would be cheap.
