Last month to process logs to sell this coming Winter ?

[arboriculturist]

I am interested to hear peoples views on when they consider is the latest you can process hardwood logs to be ready for sale in October.

 

I am talking about storing the split logs in slatted crates, stacked 4 high with tops covered outside.

 

We always considered end of June late enough.

 

Any answers much appreciated.

Of course, but for those of us like you and I who only sell a premium product, the date will be quite a bit different.

Those times are going to result in decent firewood.

 

Winter felling we find makes a significant difference to drying times and by end October when sales kick off most June processed timber species reach around 20 - 25%.

 

Stored on a windy site though. Thanks

Never found any difference in summer winter felled. Do notice a lot of diffrance when it's been harvester cut and lots of barked stripped off.

To be honest all the timber apart from two loads has been sat roadside for a year by the time October comes it all of been down 2 so we're leaving it in lengths. Will cut split 6 weeks before selling.

Yep the thread was about seasoning times so that's the idea.

 

Anything worthy to contribute?
