How to Sell Wood For a Newbie

[Ciaran Taylor]

If they are edge trees it will probably just be chip but at 1.5m diameter and with 270 of them you should have a couple of lorry loads at least, talk to euroforest and they should take it off you for 20-30 per ton. Only problem is if you plan on dismantling them instead of winching them back over, in which case no one will buy it off you because of uneven lengths.

Be very careful, no chipper I know will cope with 1.5 metre without splitting so the price drops because of that. Sawmills that can run that down/want it, are limited in Cornwall so it might be a train journey for it. Price will reflect that.

Where abouts in Cornwall is the job?

[Stihl Unknown]

Near Newquay.

[Big T]

Cool. Would you be willing to sell small quantities of it? I'm doing a few logs on the side, not much but if you don't ask!

[Stihl Unknown]

Hi Big T, there will be masses of it any thing that doesn't get taken by the Timber Trucks will be up for grabs also what method of extraction would you use? Ie we could come up with transit load price

[Big T]

Ok mate. Extraction would prob be a small tractor, will have to see what I can sort out and see if it's viable first!

[Stihl Unknown]

Big T, sounds great. Do you want to send me your details and ill keep you in the loop.
