timber prices

[delabodge]

hi I have a old timber sheet with graph for prices, for quick reference ,,so if somebody wants a 8x1 10ft long, I dont have to work out equations, is there a more up to date system on the market,,,or is it old school?

Nothing is old school, it's whatever works for you!

 

I've put a spreadsheet together a while ago to work out this very problem, I've just added a graph which sounds a bit like the thing you are after, hopefully attached to this post!

 

There are three sheets, one a table of figures, one a graph and one for the inputs into the graph. If you change any of the grey cells your prices will auto update, to update the graph change the figures in the "Graph Data" sheet. Have a play and you'll see what I mean.

 

Yes I'm a geek with spreadsheet but they don't half make your life easier!!

 

Hope it helps.

fantastic spreadsheet.

 

to what type of timber do the values, currently in the sheet, relate. just curious.

[timbermillers]

The graph is set for £45 a cubic foot which is what I've been selling dry ash and chestnut for, and the table at £20 a cube is set up for green oak (somewhere between stake and beam grade).

 

I'm constantly looking around at what others charge, some of which is a joke for the quality of timber they supply. Most of what I deal with is oak, ash chestnut and walnut so these are the prices I try to keep up to date with.

fantastic spreadsheet, very easy to use!

its always a difficult one, i've been getting 18-25 for green oak and around the 40 ,mark for air dry beams and boards but we actually sell very little as i'm a chippy my self, it'd be interesting to know what folks are paying in the round? we've been running on 2-5 on the deck with us finding transport etc.... maybe we could compile a directory

Hi Timbermill, i've been trying to have a look at your spreadsheet, but was unable to open it. Is there any chance you can repost it. Hope you dont mind.

 

Thanks.
