That's fine, I put my valuation on the log and actually it is not what I would consider a commercial milling log. There are signs of possible metal along with the other defects I pointed out, considering the conversion rate on that log the £3 /hoppus is soon inflated, there is obvious excess wastage at the butt end and it appears from the photo there are similar if not worse problems at the tip. If you take that into consideration the margins you were quoting do not hold water.

On a log of this nature hoppus theory struggles to hold up, it appears from the photo that standard taper is way out and so if you consider all these points I struggle to get my thinking around the margins you were quoting.
