As you can see from images I have some Elm wood for sale, I'd rather it was used for something constructive rather than firewood.

Also I'm not to sure of the value of timber like this, so any advice would be very welcom.

By the way the Elm is located in South Wales.

Green Elm is hard to split and hard to dry.

 

Dead Elm is great fire wood if left standing till the bark falls off, but it needs splitting with an hydraulic splitter really.

 

The old poem about fire wood said "Elm wood burns like church yard mold, even the very flames are cold"

 

Before DED Elm was never rated as fire wood.

 

If I was offered that wood for nothing, I would not really want it.

I would offer it to a neighbour with a wood burner for £20 . Cant see how small amount of short lengths would build anything.

 

Think I'll get more than £20 for it:confused1:

 

Thats £50 if seasoned, split, delivered and stacked in the shed round the back. You will be lucky to get a twenty for it now delivered, or £10 for collection.

 

It's not worth getting your wallet out for I'd put and advert on eBay " free to collector "

 

What they've all said. Such a tiny quantity, merits little bother.

Well I Posted this on the Woodturners Institute and had a lot more possitive reaction.

If my original post was read correctly I'd rather it was used for something constructive rather than firewood.

I am more than capable of splitting it myself and use at a later date in my own burner.

 

As for giving it away for nowt, then you have more money than sense!
