Baltic Cord

[Logsnstuff]

Anyone been offered cord shipped in from the Baltics, we had a phonecall the other day they are about to start barging it into Montrose £60 ton for birch.

Getting about 1 per week at the moment I think they have picked up my name off the BSL register. Wood pellet at crazy price of £92 per tonne.

Last month I saw tons of the stuff dockside both Estonia and Latvia.

 

Slightly different note - last week I saw tons and tons of beech in Slovakia, it wasn't the best quality for milling so presumably gong for firewood also.

might consider beech if it was processor size but not birch

I think haulage would kill it, Slovakia not the easiest to get to/from

Just wondering if any body has had good and bad experiences with Baltic imports, regarding quality of wood and the financial side e.g paying for it and then NO wood turns up !!!

Still a great believer in "If something is cheap,it is cheap for a reason".

Buy British, that's all I'm saying.

That's easier said than done up this way. Imports will probably become more common

I find I cant say "out of eu" one minute and be happy to buy imported anything the next.

I thought some of the stuff from Montrose was Birch from Norway. Don't know the trading agreement they have with the EU but id always try and get local if possible.

 

If the FC stopped planting stupid stuff on commercial sites ( Hawthorn, Poplar, Alder) there might be a chance of future supplies
