Cord auction price.

I sent in a bid at yesterday's Hardwood auction held in Cirencester. I was bidding on 100t of FC beech in the forest of dean, which is to be felled and taken to road roadside. After calculating the cost of haulage I arrived at a fair sum of £42.50 per ton. The hammer went down on a whopping £52.50 per ton. I can only surmise that a local timber merchant bought it.

Things are gonna get ugly soon, I spoke to a guy up my way and he is struggling to get cord, I've just got 27 tonne off the FC, sealed bids and all that, I know a couple of people who bought it who do logs as a side line, makes it hard for is pros who can't compete on price of a retired bloke doing it for fun.

Its hardly a surprise when standing timber has been north of £25 a ton at times . You guys with processors will just have to grin and bare it or go old school again. We sell all our log wood for around £25 a ton delivered within a 20 mile radius of Guildford but none or only a small proportion of it would go through a processor.
