Hi guys im fairly new to this but I know its cost me alot of money to move I understand the hours it woukd take to turn it into somthing amazing and also what it would be worth to sell to a customer carved would be alot higest offer takes it thanks Greg

 

Fair enough. Not trying to rip you down, but in all honesty it is the kind of log that I would near enough give away if it came into my yard. £25 a tonne at most. It's potential uses are so limited that there can be little market for it - it's far to ugly for firewood and milling which really only leaves carving. Even then, it's only suitable for someone with a specific project. It's not what you would describe as a blank canvas.

Thanks for your reply big j and at 25 per tonne I recon there is 1.2 ton in the lump its bigger than it looks in pics and I though it would be good for cavinh as it has lots of arms blank canvas best describes it thanks Greg

These logs are really firewood value - the bonus for you is you don't have to cut it split it and dry it.

 

Is it just for this one piece? Realistically you're looking at £50-00 tops but that is just my opinion.

Hi buddy understand that every1 want to buy it for firewood prices but this is a 1.2 ton lump of cedar i will take £200 for it and the 6ft lenght next to it if i could calve i would do it myself and could probly sell it for at least a £1000 it cost me £800 to move all the cedar i have so i think im being fair

a famous painter asked how much it cost to do a painting...

for the canvas, a few pennies, for my experience and skill, many thousands..

 

To whit, the lumps not worth nothin, a carvers skill on the other hand...

 

Not to mention, I'm sure you've bin paid for the job, how much more do you wanna wring out of it?...

I'm sorry it's cost you £800 to move these to your yard but if you felled it why wasn't this cost included in the job?

Both logs should really be less than £200

If the job had covered your costs you could have made a fast £100 and be rid of it.

I know of quite a few nice bits of wood in various yards where the owner would not part with them for less than "x" amount they have been there for years and are now virtually worthless .... sad really ........it is only worth what some one will pay for it !!
