hello there,,,

 

i do some contract sawing ,, what size timber you got ,,

[MikeM]

At the moment I have a few 2.9m lengths of ash 16” to 20”diameter and good and straight, which I got as part of a firewood load.

 

I’m just exploring options for the future at the moment. Do I consider setting aside stuff like this for milling. Part of this is down to the availability and cost of a milling service. Part of it is also about not sacrificing everything to firewood and part of it is about avoiding the hard work of logging the big stuff.

 

I am working in partnership with someone who is interested in the end product, but obviously it needs to be cost effective to produce it ourselves.

 

How much do you charge?

if you are gong to do this long term get an ms 660,36" bar and an alaskan mill and mill it yourself it will work out cheaper in the long run plus you could hire yourself out and get your money back.
