Quality standing oak - how much is it worth per hoppus foot?

[Rob D]

How much is oak is worth per hoppus foot standing? It's straight, various diameters, lots to be felled and just south of M25. Access is good via network of tracks.

 

 

So what's it worth per hoppus foot standing? And is there anyone on arbtalk who buys timber like this?

Hmmm.

 

I don't have any experience with buying Oak standing but I suppose I would pay around the £3 mark a hoppus? Works out at about £100 a tonne, which is considerably more than they would get for firewooding.

around £6-8 a hoppus .......is the going price for good quality

Thanks for the replies.

 

It's a bit of a piece of string question I suppose - like 'how much will it cost to prune my ash tree!'

Seem around the money. Good stuff is 6-8 quid at the roadside.

 

Rob would you come as far as Hertfordshire for good bits of wood to mill.

I'd love to say yes but it's just a bit far... i have trouble milling the stuff 10 miles away at the moment! But thanks for asking.
