softwood delivered (larch douglas thuja) usually about 50/ cubic metre delivered down here.

Been paying £50-60 = VAT per tonne delivered in 18 tonne loads.

 

Has risen recently.

Not sure what you had in mind for it but it is popular for milling. Ideally the bigger the straight wood the better to start with; give the buyer the choice of how to cut it.

Hi,

 

This can be cut for Shingles, strangely enough I can do this for you !! well the bigger stuff anyhow.

I am based in Guildford Surrey.

I think clear(knot free) is used for Timber framed greenhouses and Hot tubs.

Yep - greenhouses, other bespoke outdoor structures, garden furniture as it doesn't rot. For the posh end of the market as it lasts more then five years!

Im in west wales so i think its a bit too far, but thanks for the offer.

 

so 50-60, thanks everyone for the comments:thumbup:

 

We have got some western hemlock too, cant find anyone locally that will take it, so might have to be firewood.

Last year I was offered £40 per ton for spruce delivered to the mill at Talley, which may be near you.

I may be interested in the bigger logs. I have a Woodmizer in woods just out side Llandovery. Where abouts are the logs?

Ah right thanks for that might give them a call and see what they are interested in. I think we might use the bigger logs for fencing etc. The logs are at Narberth.

 

What wood mizer have you got?
