Anyone need good wide Elm as far south as Northampton?

[Big J]

Hi all,

 

I would like to advertise a load of milled Elm. I would like to bring down a full Mercedes 308D load of green English Elm (approx 50 cubic foot) for sale south of the border.

 

Much like buses, I struggled to get enough Elm for my kiln which went on last week but I have a full 9 trees being delivered this week as well as another burr Elm I'm milling off one of Tom D's jobs tomorrow.

 

The Elm in question would be English Elm from Holyrood in Edinburgh. It will be of varying diameter (I've not seen the trees yet) and up to 34 inch wide straight edges boards. It has been felled live and is a variety called wheatly Elm. I have some lesser timber from the same line of trees that went through my first kiln that I've turned into breadboards - I'll post photos later this evening. When I say lesser timber, it's not the first length, but the second length instead.

 

The Elm is wonderfully dark, tight grained with some pipping. If the first load is anything to go by, it will be of superb quality and size.

 

I will combine the trip down south with seeing family, so there will be no charge for delivery (within reason). Please take this into account if you want to make an offer.

 

Anyway, if anybody is interested in this, please PM me with an offer. I would be looking to make a delivery within the next few weeks. I have sufficient Elm to make more than one run, though probably no more than 3.

First load sold! Going down to Bath (400 miles in the 308D is going to be an adventure!).

 

Still lots of Elm remaining. Not so much wide, straight Elm (up to 20 inches now) but lots of wide burr elm left.

If anyone else is needing a half load (around 27 cubic foot) of mostly large burr elm, give me a shout. The second load will be down the weekend of the 23/24th October.

Still plenty of Elm left, though the best of the kiln dried stuff has gone. I still have alot of 1.5 and 2 inch boards (the thinner boards being wider and the thicker boards narrower).

 

Also, lots of Elm in the round to be sold either as the log for you to mill or slabbed to your requirements.

 

I'm not going to be bringing it down personally, but palletline seem to be quite reasonable, if a little inept at times.

As before, lots of good timber left. Very little dry burr elm left, but lots of nice Wheatly Elm (very tight, dark grain).

 

My kiln is reopening in 3 weeks time and I want to clear some space, so discounts available for large orders.

 

As before, plenty of Elm in the round to be sawn to order.
