Atlas cedar stem, mill or firewood?

[Dobson89]

Just taken this cedar down, butt is approx 800mm and 5 or y metres in length. Basically I'd just want to know if its worth trying to find someone to mill it, otherwise it's going for firewood. Tree is in rutland

probably get a lot of movement in the current climate coupled with the bit of shake in the center...

 

probably worth a go if you can move it whole (or maybe in quarters) or if it can sit there for a few months

where in Rutland?

could come across and mill for you, using autotrek mill... as long as access is ok for twin wheeled mill towed by lwb landrover.

failing that maybe interested in buying if you want rid of.

pm me if interested in either option.

that tree deserves to be milled!

That's a nice clean looking bit of timber. I would quarter it now to take the stress out (coincidentally making the bits a bit easier to move, then put 'pairs of quarters' back together on pallets, lying face down in the shade to keep the cut faces well covered but off the ground. Then mill it in autumn.

Def worth milling so hopefully someone will take u up on it.

 

 

Do you want anything for it or happy for someone to come and mill it as long as they clean up any sawdust etc?

Thanks for all the replies. So basically, the tree owner wanted to know if it was worth trying to find someone to mill it or if we should just ring it up. Happy to say they decided to get it milled and have got a guy coming in a couple of weeks.
