Unprocessed wood near Chepstow?

[sandspider]

Hi folks

 

Looking into the possibility of buying a (smallish) load of unseasoned, unprocessed wood near Chepstow. Don't mind species really, including conifers - as long as the price reflects this. (Not horse chestnut or poplar, perhaps) Ideally nothing larger than 30cm diameter ish  - coppice poles would be OK! This is to process and burn myself, the winter after next.

 

Access isn't great, 8 foot wide maximum over a small bridge...

 

Anyone local have anything like this? Cash waiting. I'm on the tip site but nothing has ever come of it...

 

Thanks.

I think you need to clarify what you mean by small.  Do you mean about ten tons that a tractor and timber trailer might deliver, or is a half ton load more your style?

Fair point. I burn 5 - 10m3 per year I'd say, so can cope with a fair amount. Easier to process and fit if it comes as several smaller loads rather than one big load, perhaps.
