Pine uses?

[sjs5060]

Hi, I've a load of Corsican pine to come down. Was just looking for ideas on what could be done with?

a lot of it will go to logs but I'm just thinking is there any other ways of adding value? Is it worth milling some? If so to what sizes? And how much would I get for it done? If cut for structural size beams and such I assume it would need to be certified as fit for use? Anyone been involved in this?

Would it make good fencing? If so it would need to treated? Anyone done this?

 

Any ideas welcome, thanks, Ste

pinus nigra is an excellent joinery timber and i don't know why if there are straight trunk that we don't mill all of them and use them in our own timber industry rather than ship in stuff from overseas.

Transportation and the possibility steel, to name just 2 of the reasons.

Since we got the mill we have planked all the pine. I have cut piles of the stuff, between the landscape boys who seem to use tons of it and the girls with the horses that eat all the rails it all gets used.

Nothing as grand a scale as Bob's, my simple Alaskan and a couple of spare days at home (and this is Mont pine):

You cant knock the Alaskan Kevin , if it wasn`t for Gary from FHC coming down here with one them half the timber we get would not fit on the mill.

not sure what you mean by the words "possibility steel".

 

you would hope that transportation costs would be lower seeing as the wood is already in this country way but it seems to be the opposite.
