Beech stem for sale

[mendiplogs]

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.

Hi big john that's for milling rate yes as you no the rate as that what you do thanks Jon

[delabodge]

seems to me that theres the usual debate about cost of this butt, some thinking how much is it worth to me as firewood,(as this is what i do) and others who think its worth more to me(as I own a mill)so in my view as long as the guy who doesnt mill gets what its worth in logs,,then everyones a winner!

Big j could you please explain how you worked out the cubic ft

Big j could you please explain how you worked out the cubic ft

 

70cm is 27.5". 27.5 x 3.142 = 86.4

 

86.4 / 4 = 21.6 (quarter girth)

 

21.6 x 21.6 = 466.56 (quarter girth squared)

 

466.56 x 126 (3.2m in inches) = 58786.56

 

58786.56 / 1728 (cubic inches in a cubic foot) = 34.02 hoppus foot (cubic foot by the hoppus measure).

 

 

The rest of you are a bunch of tight bastards! I could sell that off the saw at £14 a cube at the very least, and it would take me two hours to collect it (assuming it was reasonably local) and saw it. 34 x £11 profit is £374, so a reasonable rate of return.

I love when poeple that no what there really talking about posts like u just done big j

This bloke is trying to sell this trunk to ever make money or to save it from the fire wood pile

It maybe worth nothing to 1 person and £160 pound to another

No one knows what that bit of timber is worth

It's only worth what the highest bidder wants to pay for it

 

For what its worth I would mill it and make more money out of planks from that bit of timber than I would out of firewood
