Cord auction price.

[RDB logs]

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.

Hi bob I only do big butts and rings! Ha ha:lol:

 

Good to know a nationwide price though as it is hard to keep track when in your own little world

1000 tonnes of standing went for £41 a tonne yesterday. Astonishing

WOW that's cheap. Is that cut and split?. Wish I lived within 20 mile radius of you!

[Thewoodman]

Yep, some pine but mostly prime firewood. 90% by forwarder. Couldn't believe it, I bid 25 and they rung this morning to say it went for 41!!! Madness

Hodge,

Looks like your purchase was a stroke of brilliance!

Who's looking for cord round ours? Starting cutting yours next week. Sounds like my £45 a ton at rdside is about right. All nice processor size and straight. The oversize (> 14") will go to my pile or the the local mill if they're interested, as the big stuff is all Oak.

Exactly. unless they're doing it all themselves and selling for firewood there can't be much in it.

HI WOOD so if it stand of £40/50 what the road side rate £70/75/80 thanks then into yard :lol:thanks jon

Its not all one sided , we do a lot of machine work along side the harvesting guys. We often have to build tracks and hard standings some of which have in excess of 2000 tons of hardcore/scalps . We then have the rake and burn or mulching to do, then all the public footpaths,tracks,bridle paths and fences need reinstatement's. Add in the harvesters , replanting,forest management costs ,returns for the woodlands owners and you can begin to see where your money is going.
