Oak butt for milling, Sussex/Surrey area

[doobin]

What's it worth then? Here's the deal- access is rubbish, but if you want to take your chainsaw mill too it then I will extract and load the boards onto your transport with the telehandler. Located near Fernhurst, West Sussex.

 

Dimensions are approx 20ft in length, and about three feet diameter tapering to two feet.

 

Saw for scale is an 036 with 13" bar.

 

Oh, and one more thing- it needs to be done in the next week or so! PM me your offers, or post here.

Why, what'll happen after a week? Will it rot down in that time?

[doobin]

I'll cut it up and extract it to roadside!

77 hoppus foot. Worth between £231 and £432 if my calculations are correct, not considering access. Is that 6.8 cubic m? My maths is bad. Anyway, if the cubic meterage is correct, 6 tons makes 3 3.5t trailer loads minus sawdust.

 

I'm not interested as I'm skint just now but thought the facts may help you out doobin. Cheers for the mental exercise.

No worries, thanks bud!

77 cubic foot is correct, but it's 2.18 cubic metres, not 6.8. That equates to about 2 tonnes.

 

It's a nice enough butt, though very dead. I'd be looking to pay about £308 to £385 for the butt is it was roadside. Given that it's a trek to mill it, I'd knock off about £100.

Update- the butt can stay for a bit longer, but after the end of this week the forklift will no longer be on site. It could probably be brought down from the yard to load at a cost of £40 for the hour.

 

Any offers?

[doobin]

Sold. I got £368 for it from the local mill who came and collected it.

 

Even in three lumps it made the machines struggle!

Good stuff. Glad you got a good price for it!
