Who gets paid?

I assume you've checked he has a felling license, unless your taking less than 5 cu metres?

We've just taken on a large woodland and are taking all timber felled as payment for the work. It's all high quality sycamore & Alder - nice straight stems. Most is being sold as firewood cord or for charcoal, some for veneer timber.

Where there is specialist tree surgery involved (close to listed structures), we're charging for the work BUT returning the value of the timber to owners to help offset the work.

Only if the dbh is more than 7cm

You may as well leave it as it's bugger all use for anything else. Timber fairies are welcome to it!

 

 

estate where i live had a huge old horse chestnut cut down years ago and everyone got a share of it, very hard twisted horrible stuff to split with axe/maul, however i had a large stove so got rings into dry and then cut into stove sized lumps with saw and would put in a lump at night to keep stove going all night long. bit of effort but kept house warm and saved better logs for rest of time.

 

one or two other residents "dumped" their load of chestnut in woods to rot, needless to say i recovered the lot and it kept me cosy.

 

but without some effort, big stove and getting it for free then yeah its worthless
