Beech stem for sale

[Dave177]

Have a beech stem for sale,

its 3.2m long with a mid diameter of 70cm (Lost my blue book to do the conversion so if anyone can help me out it would be great)

It is at my yard at the moment next to some hardstanding, nearest postcode is RH1 5JR and I can arrange for a local farmer to lift it onto your trailer for an extra £20 if you dont have a hiab and could possibly deliver if you have a way of lifting it off your end.

looking for offers.

Cheers

34 cubic foot in that stem. Towards the lower end of the quality spectrum for beech - straight enough but the occluded bark at the butt end isn't ideal. Nevertheless, it looks like it might have some nice flaming and it is ideal size for your average Woodmizer type sawmill.

 

It's worth about £120 loaded, in my opinion.

Or perhaps, ring it up avoiding possible embedded scrap, split it and deliver ?

for such colour in the beech ringing that up would be sacrilege.

My money says there is a possibility of metal in it,

How many boards do you think you would get out of that piece?

It has in bark, a blind knot , the top third is u s , splits. heart crack, .....whats wrong with nice coloured logs?

it has character...

 

something usually lacking in boards from trees that every mill demands are 100% perfect, straight and clean...

It has character perhaps, but looking at the economics of it is different. Offset the milling cost even without the possibility of metal present and the recovery rate and it works vout expensive boards/ firewood and a pile of sawdust. Then you have to find someone that is willing to pay enough to recover that cost.

If there was profit then sawmills would be cutting it.

It looks ok it just the metal risk that would worrie me but I think it would be ok
