How to Sell Wood For a Newbie

[Stihl Unknown]

Hello,

 

I guess the foresters here will be able to help.

 

I'm in the process of putting in a quote for a rather massive job. The land owner is giving me all the timber so I can sell it on to off set some of the cost of the work.

 

Anyhow, I've never sold wood before properly let alone ever had a job this big we are talking 270 mature Monterey Pines most at least 1.5m diameter.

 

The job is in Cornwall.

 

Thank you all for reading my post and any constructive advice of wisdom will be gratefully received

Talk to combined tree services or kern ow stu, they down that way and know their onions

Tbh be wary of taking part payment with a lot of oversized softwood

Have you a Felling licence?

Ant, I may be able to move some / all of that straight off site buyer collects. Must have FL though. Talk soon!

[roseyweb]

I'd always consider any wood a bonus not payment

[kevinjohnsonmbe]

Or FC approved man plan / exemption qualification if FL not required.

Unless someone takes it away for you from site it's a burden not a bonus. Why is he felling them? Seems a tragic shame

Thank you all so far

 

I've not investigated to much into the FL side.

 

Cheers Kev catch up soon for sure
