Yew buyer wanted

Bought a single yew tree today from a local tree surgeon.  I estimate around 6 cubic metres of good milling logs, and I paid £750 for it delivered to my yard.

 

I am happy as they are good logs and I will eventually make money from them, though it may take 6 or 7 years to finally sell the last piece.

 

And the tree surgeon is happy as he made a bit from the logs (not a lot as he had to hire a telehandler and trailer for the day).

 

 And the customer is happy as the tree was professionally removed.  Personally I wonder why you would want to remove such a large yew, but there was no TPO so it was their tree to remove; and maybe it was too big to be close to a house.

Big tree that! Any pics?

Not of the tree sorry.  I will take a pic of the logs, but I only saw it after it had been felled.

Nice mate. Are you going to mill into boards or a mix of things?

All will be converted to boards of varying thickness.  This will push me into milling all my yew as I already had half a lorry load in the yard waiting.

Sounds like some fun 👍
