Harvested Hurley ash


Recommended Posts

Having returned home to Ireland from felling hurley ash in a well managed Estate in England, I would just like to thank the Arbtalk members that have sourced me ash this year. More UK Forestry people are taking notice of this market, mainly because the price we are paying for the bottom 1.4 meters of the tree & the way our team works.

 

In this Estates case, a team of top quality Forestry harvesters entered the two woodlands before my team arrived on site. They topped the suitable tree's and left the butt remaining(1.4 meters long) ref to pictures. This method means we can pay more for the ash, as it makes it faster to fell the butts without the top of the tree intact and also makes our work an awful lot safer. I received good news the past few weeks to expect a very busy year felling hurley ash in the UK, so don't hesitate to get in touch if your considering thinning your woodlands or Forestry people in general wanting to learn more. Always glad to answer people's queries related to this topic.

Yes Kevin roughly 8 butts with a diameter of 36 to a cubic meter. No unfortunately it wouldn't be suitable for Hurley making. Hurley makers have in the past experimented with maple, but it's not as flexible and when dry breaks quiet easy.

 

so the've not tried robinia then?

 

give it a go as it has many of the qualities of ash in my opinion and won't break as easily as maple does.
