Pricing burrs

[Andy Collins]

Is there a way of pricing up burrs to sell them on? So much per cm/inch? Or it more of a case of get what you can for them?

[Arob]

Maybe it could be a new section for classifieds? Or the 'Talk could somehow cross pollinate with a woodworkers forum such as UKWorkshop - The Site For Woodworkers to develop the market for such things?

Have felled a lot of dead elm with burrs on. The quality seems to vary quite a lot. I'd just get what you can for them.

What type of burrs do you have i am always on the lookout

Some elm, oak, and Robinia at the moment. I have a local turner who will have them, but I wondered on whether there is an accepted way of pricing so he is getting a fair price, and myself too.

i reckon it depends on your buyer.

 

my man would pay £80>£150 for a nice one, thats just a approx.

 

find 2 or 3 turners and do the rounds, taking bids

Ouch >I don't mind paying a fair price for burrs nut £150 is a lot

How are you ever supposed to make it pay.You would need to turn that into something like £1000 of stock to recuperate that outlay
