REF what the price of hard wood cord now thanks

[mendiplogs]

Tricky one, isn't it? Very mild winter so far... and round here hardwood cordwood stocks are low due to the rush to stock last autumn - so prices are correspondingly high.

 

If it doesn't chill down soon - and next week it's forecast to, but we need a month of it, not a week - everyone's going to have a load left over for next winter, what cord is sitting around won't sell, and prices will plummet.

 

If you need to re-stock for next winter, and can't risk supply drying up even further, buy now. If you can afford to wait and speculate, wait. Wholesale gas prices have fallen and bills are falling with it - so we may see a fall in demand for wood and less willingness to pay premium prices.

 

Me, I'm not a big player. 50t a year by saw and axe, operating at the premium end with a strong reputation for a very well-seasoned product. I'm buying now to ensure I have time to process it all by the summer. I simply can't afford to wait or I won't be able to keep my standards up.

 

Those with high-capacity processors won't have my constraint. Good luck to them!

HI JON is there any in cornwall mate thanks jon

 

Depends who you talk to

 

£55 is hellish pricey don't care what they say. Trouble is there is some ex-banker down there throwing the bullshit around and upsetting every other log merchant. They were wanting £46/tonne. Perhaps I'm the right side of the tamar after all - still £40/t roadside here despite the lack of it.

Haulage on 55 never worth it. Yeah 40 rs mate. Some stunning beech went for 55 delivered last season irrespective of distance with evans. It was by the metre3 tho mate, not ton, timber was just firewood sex tho!

Big difference in price across the country paying £25 for big beech £40 max for small stuff that's roadside
