Lime, alder and beech sawlogs needed

[Squaredy]

I am currently in need of lime, alder and beech sawlogs.  I need ideally to purchase by the lorry load, but species can be mixed.

 

So I will happily buy a whole 26 ton load of these species, but if they were mixed in with other species this might also work.  

 

These are for milling so I am not after firewood grade.  Having said that I don't need very large diameter - as long as each log is no less than 8 inches (200mm) top diameter that is fine.  Also not too bendy or knotty please.

 

I am based in South East Wales.  Any offers?

 

By the way I usually pay around £65 to £100 per ton, plus delivery, depending on quality etc.

Have you looked at woodlots? Online, it sells all many of stuff from small producers

Yes many times in the past.  In recent times it looks as if it is not really being used much any more.  I have made contact with a few people who advertise on Woodlots, but never actually got anywhere.

 

Thank you for the suggestion though - I will have a look, and of course I will be phoning round my usual forestry dealers.

Just had a little look at Woodlots.  No adverts placed so far this year and I can only find one from last year.  I wonder if @Steve Bullman has considered adding a new trading website to his collection to give a decent platform for buyers and sellers?

I have used them many years ago, but I only buy fairly locally now.  Also unless they have changed a lot they mainly deal in oak.

Gawd knows bud, just remember them in the Royal agricultural show at Stoneleigh Warwickshire,... 

But they're not far away from where you're based, 

How about upm tilhill and fountain forestry? They might not be still going, also I'm showing my age😂

We Are just starting storm damage and windblow here, there is definitely saw log in lime and beech. The transport from Angle may be a killer through.

If you are in Pembrokeshire this might work.  I don't know where Angle is though.... or was this an auto-correct type error?

Angle is South side of the Milford Haven oil terminal, went on Holiday there last summer and rather liked it 🙂
