How many of you tree companies sell logs?

[chrisgilltreesurgery]

i see your point but for me its good 'rainy day' work,spare hour here or there,cut and split a cube or two. We have two woodburners as primary heating, so have to do it anyway

 

If its for your own use its a different matter, I do that as I have a 10kw stove too and it eats the timber lol

about 50/50 between personal use and sales, as you say,tree work is a much better way to make a living,would much rather be climbing than splitting!

Does he work alone???

 

sort of? I`m milling in the back ground,(so hes not technically aloneH&S,and he`s splitting rings already prepared, as thats how we take them off site from tree work,,,

we sell our logs on seasoned,we store ours in a poly tunnel which achieves fast drying turnaround

 

we do odd days at it when we are quiet,normally in the winter.

if two of set to a days splitting with the machine typically we can turn 9 loads round /day (splitting)which equates to £1000.00 once delivered so minus labourer wage £60.00/day £50.00 fuel for saws,delivery and log splitter.

so £890.00 profit/ 9 loads seems a viable winter income for us,plus i quite like being in the warm poly tunnel on a cold wet day splitting wood

All im after is a simple yes/no answer to get to grips with statistics of tree work companies selling on their timber as logs and who just gets rid

 

 

Ill start it off with a big fat 'no'

Yes, but it's only to shift the timber from my yard which has shite access and to fill in rainy days.

 

As Huck says, a lot of log customers are a pain, and there are people round here still selling heaped Transit loads for £100.

 

Arb waste is generally tough to process as well. If I can sell the timber on green as cord I do that where possible.
