elm tree

[treesnatcher]

Hi, I have a reasonable sized elm to come down shortly, I have to decide what i am going o do with the wood. It is approx 5 by 5 and a half foot at 1m above ground, up to approx 9ft at the fork at about 17ft.

The pics are crap, Mill (offers invited ) or firewood???

Well worth milling. Elm is now quite uncommon and there is demand for the timber. If nothing else, the effort in ringing it up for firewood would be enormous!

Carl Butler, Nelson Butler timber. They are fairly local, near Horncastle and I am certain will take it (assuming it's not hollow). £1500 to £2000 in that first length, quality dependent, though a very large HIAB would be required to move it as it will weigh 11 tonnes.

Thanks, i cut a similar one for firewood few years ago and was then told i would have offered 1250 after i showed them a pic if i had not already been ringed it up.

Not great pics but i need to do something with it. so far firewood is looking likely. anyone interested please pm me.

If trunk is cut up i can probably load.

seriously, someone should mill that...

I can't figure the logistics of getting it here at a reasonable price. Otherwise I would be very keen!

That seems to be the problem.
