[Big J]

What do you sell your cedar for big j?

 

£24 a cubic foot, plus VAT. Kiln dried to about 8-10%.

Some of the large softwood mills don't like WRC, especially summer felled as the bark comes away in massive strips and clogs debarkers and saws.

 

It's all a bit of a guesstimate depending on access, log size and quantity, but I wouldn't mind paying 80p to £2 per cu ft for WRC. Bigger the better, nice fat dumpy overgrown huge hedge trees are awesome.

Leb/ Deodar/ Atlas Cedar are probably in the same price bracket, we've not used it much for cladding but do tend to mill it for chunky decks, seating, outdoor tables and quite a bit for interior work, excellent for a big shelf or desk. Much cheaper than Oak, nice and stable, great to play with and really good outside.... Carvers seem to like it too, there are some huge bits of Cedar out there.

 

Quite happy to look at reasonable quantities that people are felling in W or E Sussex and Surrey.
