Freshly milled oak for sale

[northcountryboy]

Don't get me wrong its good stuff, bought a few lengths last week but no where near this price, is it the width that makes it so desirable?

[Rhob the Log]

A perfectly flat piece of waney-edge at 17". It's not as easy to produce as it sounds and each time you touch a log you add a little to the price. Still, that's a lot of profit for someone...

The seller is knocking out timber faster than they can plane it by the looks of it and making a fortune.

That's a great price for the seller. Must find out the winning bidder's name!

 

I never thought of ebay as being a source for milled wood too.

It's not a cheap source of milled timber. The oak in question is European too - if you look at his other listings, he is selling larger bundles of it too.

 

I think lots of us millers have tried eBay, but it's usually more hassle than it's worth.

 

Please big J, enlighten, how can you be so sure its European?

[se7enthdevil]

big j's right it's deffinatly european oak. and the pack price he can sell it at is very cheap. he's currently selling 1cubic metre for £900, thats £25.50 perft3. where else can you get oak at that price other than off the continent...

I bought a few of these boards a few weeks ago, the grain pattern is definitely different to the English oak boards I had bought previously, not much character to them but they were cheapish and obviously not very sustainable if your bothered about that kind of thing.
