Deodar in Hertfordshire

[Rich @ C Trees]

Hello all you millers! I've got two standing Deodars in Hertforshire to get down. They're 20-22m tall and 79-81cm dbh. Anyone interested?

What's the access like? Approx total weight of timber? Can they be felled in a long length and any pics.

 

 

A closer idea of where they are as well would be handy.

 

 

Ta!

Hi Rob

I don't have photos but can get some easily enough. They're in a residential area in Welwyn GC. Access is down a single track tarmac road with a turning circle (a wide one, like a roundabout) at the end. The trees themselves are set just inside a driveway. There's room for a several vehicles / trailers on the driveway and the whole site's fairly level. Total weight of useable timber I guess about 7 tons (based on how many runs I reckon it'd take to get it into my yard). The upper parts of the trunks would have to come down on lowering kit so I reckon 2m lengths as max. There's something of a low hedge at the base of the trees but if the clients can tolerate a bit of damage to it then I guess around 5m might be feasible.

Still haven't found anyone to take these trees. Seems a crying shame to ring them up for firewood. Any offers?

Give Burrel (Martin) another prod, he likes a bit of milling and seemed mildly interested in it when we spoke:thumbup:

I do think you'd get a better response with some pics. Martin (Burrell) on here would be good to chase as I know he is near that way.

 

 

What's your mobile number? And are you happy for someone to just pick the timber up - i.e. no money changing hands? Maybe in return for a plank or two?
