Unseasoned wood prices?

[Clada]

I have found that i am not getting the hardwood i was two years ago, but softwood I am being offered is on the increase. There seems to be a lot of wood turners contacting me at the minute after Cherry. I think a lot of people who have recently bought wood burners have been told that oak is best so i do think oak and ash will be more scarce next year?

 

I attended a wood energy briefing recently, given by a Danish consultant who runs the Wood Energy website for the Irish government agency COFORD.

 

I was surprised to told that Coniferous Softwoods have a higher inherent energy content than Hardwoods because they contain resins.

 

Other than being more bulky than hardwoods, softwoods are ideal for Wood Burners where a tendency to spark is not an issue.

Interesting Clada and thank you, as at least 50% of my customers are on wood burners.
