Douglas fir

[pro bros]

Hi all I have 64 Douglas fir logs 3.7 m x average 45 cm diameter . A few questions when is the best time to mill them (been cut 9 months) what size do you recommend to cut ,any idea of a value per cube also what volume would you expect from this amount thanks

That is a nice batch of DF Eddie. Fancy parting with some of it?

Yes we will probably part with all of it once its cut or if a good offer in the round . Speaking to a guy on the phone last night he reckons in the region of 900 per cube. He was quoted £90 for a 9x9 x9 foot beam . What is the best size to cut this

[Big J]

There is no best size as such - you could do a variety of sizes for beams (though 3.7m is a touch on the short side for that) or cut some thinner material for cladding (though DF cladding isn't too common yet).

 

I'll give you a buzz today about it.
