How much is this beech lump worth ?

[TTownsend]

So as the title explains, just want to how much I'd get if i logged it up and delivered it to the buyer. (Cut level to the green bin)

Could be a chance the customer doesn't want it and just want to see if it's worth trying to sell.

 

Don't really deal much in the firewood side so thought who better to ask.

You would be lucky to fill a builders bag, so around £60 but that's after you have seasoned it for a year.

Put it on ebay and someone will cut it down for you, process it and pay you hundreds!

Sorry, back on planet earth, if you process it, work out the volume, then look on-line at what others charge for unseasoned hardwood logs of the same volume.

 

FWIW I recon you will fill a bit more than one bag with that - so its worth a try.

Not specifically a comment on this job, but I often call in a log merchant/sawmill owner to take away larger amounts of wood.

"We were hoping to receive a good deal of money for our trees" I hear the complaint.

Sometime I do say "ok, go and buy a 15 tonne lorry and grab, with all the cost and maintenance that involves, take a day off, drive here, take it back to your yard, cut and split it, sit on it for three years, advertise and deliver it, pay tax on it, then see how much you want to pay.

Sometimes I just say nothing, smile and tell them it's a good deal.

I would offer you £25 but only if you deliver it for free:thumbup:

I reckon, you'd fill 5 builders bags. On gumtree here in central Scotland most firewood/log sellers are around £90-£120 for a builders bag of seasoned hardwood.

Builder bag is half a cube, down here I have people advertising at £65 per cube for seasoned hard. And I thought the Scots were tight !!, except their Rugby defence !!, thats quite leaky !.

 

If cutting all four stems then perhaps 3 cube but no more.

I think your all out on the volume. I think those two stems would yield 10 cubic metres of loose logs. I get enough timber on my trailer to get 5 cubic metres. I doubt I would get one of those sticks on. That looks like a 200 litre water but and the stick looks a good 3 ft across. Heavy work ringing and splitting compared to sticking cord wood through a processor.

it's a compost bin, not a water butt.
