Buying oak for firewood

[Treewarrior]

Timber stocks getting low so considering buying in.

Been offered approx 4m3 of oak timber 6" stems to process into logs for £50.00 is this a fair price?

It depends what you can sell the end product for in your area. I would buy all I could get at this price!

 

Up here in north east Scotland any seasoned hardwood split logs will go for between £100 and £120 per trailer load (1.5m3 to 2.0m3) so £12.50m3 to buy in is a bargain!

Thought so. Am currently selling @ £70.00 a m3

Are you buying in wood or is it from your own jobs?

 

Reading various other threads it appears that £42 a ton cordwood hardwood delivered for splitting is not uncommon.

Looks like I need to up my prices Dave. Are you clearing £100.00 / Cube?

selling firewood at £20 per sack (0.2 cubic metres per sack) and its going out steadily at the moment, although haven't done much advertising yet. Decided on this price as I've seen 0.5 cube builders bags at £50 locally. What you charging then?
