what logs have you been chopping today!

[gdh]

What wood is it, I'm unsure what it is?

 

It's sequoia /giant redwood.. Weird stuff, weighs way more than you would think and has 2-4 inch thick bark that's like a carpet. We bought a load to plank because I'm making a raised garden for my mum.

 

Do you manage to sell your oak planks, we're struggling with the ones we cut because everyone wants different sizes?

The sleet / snow and rain has arrived....

 

Going to Hexham Fireworks tonight too....

The Oak I cut down was for ourselves. We're using it for oak pillars/uprights on 2 porches

Starting the next lot of logs today, it's a big job of arb waste but a lot of it is processable which means my dale will be busy.

The length of the pile was aprrox 178ft by 24ft wide by an average height of around 3ft so that gives u some idea on how large it is, aim is to get it all done by Xmas!

We normally cut hardwood so it's much slower unless you do long stuff. Most of our sales are 9inch hardwood and that averages about 4-5 cube an hour.

 

 

 

By the time we've moved boxes around and done other stuff we rarely do a full day cutting so it's normally 20 cube a day. On the rare times we hire out the processor and cut non stop we've done 20-30 tons in an 8 hour day.

 

 

You storing/ delivering it in fruit bins? They look like fruit bins to me [emoji16]
