Price for poplar

[Stephen Blair]

Is it for financial gain, or just to burn for himself?

 

All wood burns, eventually. Poplar isn't very good, lovely to cut, smells nice processing but holds a lot of water and takes a while to dry out and doesn't give off much heat.

If your friend is kitted out for felling and extracting, the site is good and there a lot of easy felled and extracted timber, then go for it, stick in a pile and sell to the firewood masses or chip it.

Find out the end worth and work your way back.

Always sound advice.

Normally people pay to have Poplars removed not a great deal of value in the timber especially as firewood. It burns but I would not step over beech to get to it. I have a pile of 3ft wide straight buts 8ft long if anyone wants to try some.

 

like tulip wood poplar makes decent joinery wood and i can't understand why we import all the american yellow poplar (tulip tree) when we have a perfectly good timber to use over here.

 

very good for carcasing or kitchen doors or anywhere that need paint applied to it like skirting and architrave.

 

 

 

burns ok in my opinion

Pallets or if its clean kindling.

It didn't used to be acceptable for pallets but was taken for cable drums (Pirelli) and dunnage.

Got about 10 of these if you want to collect some

wish i could mate but i'm a maker not a miller. i just wish that good wood was not always split for the fire or chipped for biomass, such a waste...

[gensetsteve]

I was planking it and using it for kindling but not worth the time and not as popular as pine for resale. When I get a big saw up and running again will ring it and sell it for beer tokens.

Pops selling for strong money in Herefordshire £30 + a tonne two guys of I know up here will take as much as they can get what they do with it I do not know. The only tip I have is if it's for firewood or kindling try and get as much bark off as poss. When it starts to dry it cracks if you start to peel it off it comes off in long big strips or at least the hybrid stuff does. T

The only way ide get involved with the owner of that standing timber,is if he paid me to fell it.Then leave it to that owner to get shot of it.
