Needing a lot of western red cedar next year. I did have a good source lined up, but they then delayed harvesting until 2017.

 

So from about February I will need up to 500 tonnes, with it being spread across the year a bit. Ideally 3-4m lengths, 20cm minimum diameter underbark, good clean quality.

 

I will consider hauling from anywhere in the country if I can get a reasonable quote and the roadside price is workable.

 

I cut 170 tonnes of cedar this year and the order is likely to increase by quite a bit.

 

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Mark. I shall keep trying.

 

Let's hope there isn't too much of a shortage - I enjoyed cutting it over summer and is quite a big contract!

Bumpety bump.

 

In need of some more - have plenty coming my way in May, but need about 50 tonnes (or more) just now. Half of it needs to be minimum about 450mm top end - length is unimportant.
