i think you'd be mad to sell it, keep for a year if in no rush to shift it and this time next year if you still want to sell you can stick another £10 a ton on the asking price

 

If he was to keep hold of this until next year before he sold it wouldn't the m/c be alot less, hence less weight, so if selling by the tonne would he be any better off ?

A metre of green ash weighs about a tonne. So when part seasoned sell by the metre same amount of wood.

Thats wrong.

 

Ash has a very low WC and weights less than most other timbers.

 

Water weighs 1000kg per cm3, so any timber which weighs the same will sink, most timber does not sink.

Going by the above guide each 781 kg of ash will give you 1m3 of solid timber, which makes ash a very attractive prospect, compared to the likes of oak, of which you would need 1063 kgs to give 1m3.

Get it all through the processor now and stored somewhere with good airflow and sell for £80-100 a cubic metre in February when everyone else has run out. It's forecast to be a very hard winter again (speaking of, where the hell is Peckerwoo for our long range weather forecast?!)

I am sure your right I normally buy beech which is possibly closer to a tonne than ash. Its all irrelevant to me as I dont know any one round here that sells by the tonne especially part seasoned.

i wasnt really suggesting to keep it a year to then sell for more, was getting at keeping it and looking at doing himself.
