Job lot of Scottish flooring beech

[Big J]

Due to a customer changing his mind about a beech floor at the last minute, I've got a pile of just over 100 cubic foot (well 180 really, but the customer has only paid for 101) of lovely quality, white and clear Scottish Beech, cut at 34mm, 400-500mm wide and 3.65m long. Very tough and hardwearing too, if the first couple of boards machined are anything to go by.

 

Looking for £20 a cubic foot plus VAT, and we can machine it for an additional cost into flooring.

 

There is enough there for about 100-110 square metres of flooring (that's all 180 CF).

 

If you are interested, please let me know.

Is it kiln dried?

anyone know how durable it would be outside for a decked area?

Beach probably rots quicker outside than any wood other than Birch...

 

But can be very easily pressure impregnated to a high saturation level with preservative.

 

But if you were using it outside , why would you want it kiln dried?

It is kiln dried (7-8% MC) and no, not suitable for outdoor use.

dont want kiln dried for outside spiral, want it for inside on my house

but had another job in mid if it was suitable for outside to half transport, but does not lot look like its gonna be viable for the decking, prob not even if its filled with preservative.

Ahh I see!

 

Beech full of good preservative lasts longer than good oak when used for railway sleepers...
