Newbie considering going into the log trade!

[munky0211]

Two things:

It's probabably not a ton.

Nor a cubic metre.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

Nothing ventured,nothing gained

Anyone buying in hard cord at market rates and not selling it for at least £110 + VAT is not making any money at all. I would rather mine sit in the barn than do it for nothing.

£40 a cube for poplar and alder. Punters want cheap and give them cheap. Other log bods hate my guts

 

Don't hate you mate. I sell out charging more than twice that.

 

Some customers want cheap some want the best logs they can get and don't ask the price. I know which customers I want

Yea i can never understand people that charge way under everyone else in the area, there are a few around here that boast they are a lot cheaper than us but i think more fool them. Im making more profit and selling out at the end of November anyway for the same amount of work. Just wish i had more time to process 1000 cube to last me to christmas

I bought a few crates of logged and split kiln dried Ash and Beech recently to sell on. Worked out around £65 per cubic metre. Doesn't sound too bad going off some of the roundwood prices being quoted in here

Whereabouts are you at that price I can afford to stockpile and sell at £100 per cube keeping my stock for next year.
