What do you all do with your timber?

[Deb]

Hey

 

I'm sure it's been talked about before, but wondering what everyone else does with the wood they get from tree jobs that they can't chip or burn?

 

We try to process what we can into logs but looking for some bright ideas on how to get money for it without having to have it hanging about in the yard forever!

We try and leave as much as we can on site or give it away to a friend who will come and collect it. We still have tons of it it the yard though! Give some away, the lads take it as a perk of the job, sell a bit. Arb waste is hardly worth processing on a large scale so try and get rid where we can.... Not sure this helps!

Maybe sell straight away in big unprocessed chunks for people to process themselves?

 

I actually like sawing & splitting wood with axe & stacking & decided on exact size of logs. Probably im in the crazy minority though

Chainsaw mill into planks and make rustic furniture.

 

You already have the wood and the chainsaw so easy enough to buy a mill.

 

Loads of info on the Alaskan sub forum here:

Best way to convert logs into cash.

Be selective in what you plank. Best things to start with oak and cedar which are good for indoors and outdoors.
