cedar for sale

[T.M. Arborcare]

it wont be wasted going to do a lot of carving with it and make table tops. have a guy who makes rocking horses see what he can do......it will be put to good use.. how much do you think the standing cedar was worth

[muttley9050]

Certainly make some nice carvings mate.

What's its worth of course is what someones willing to pay. I wouldn't buy it standing but I may have bought the stick when down, providing I could mill it where it was. This would saVe you a lot of time and money, and I probably would of offered around £250-350 for it, depending on length. But like I say this isn't what its worth, just what I would offer.

I'm sure big j will tell you the going rate for cedar at the moment.

My guess would be about £3 cu/ft.

Just to be constructive and please don't take this the wrong way - it was a great pic you posted but what about the rest of the info? More pics?

 

 

Length of tree? Diameter and how does it taper? Any soft pockets? Access? Rough area of location? When does it need to be cleared by? If milled on site what about sawdust clear up? does the client want money for it or happy to see it gone?

 

 

 

If you're going to take the time to put a thread up take the time to give the details and you'll get a better response and better offers.

Think this is a theoretical conversation of worth Rob. If you see the ops other thread, its already been bucked to 4ft lengths.

I paid £60 a tonne for a more manageable sized deodar roadside, with a couple of sequoias in there too to make it worth while for a lorry to go in.

 

Had the stem been left in one piece and the sawmiller allowed to make the cuts, I'd have offered about £40 a tonne for it roadside and about half that if access was an issue. Cedar is nice, and the boards that I cut continue to trickle out, but I don't expect to make much off it.

 

That said, the primary market for it is outdoor furniture (in my mind) and I don't do that, nor do I supply many people who sell it.
