Western red cedar saw logs required

[Big J]

I did bump an old thread to this effect, but to no avail.

 

I'm in need of a lot of western red cedar. I need 5.1s and 3.7s, ideally a 50:50 split. A couple of hundred tonnes would see me to the end of this year.

 

Anywhere in the country would be considered.

Someone must know of some somewhere!

You would be quite lucky to find some tbh, the one parcel we have lined up was sold before we even picked up the phone to sell it. Everybody wants it even the part loads are going... which is rare.

I know it's not the easiest to find, but the last time I asked about it I did get a number of good leads.

 

I think I need about 150 tonne before the end of the year, and then probably another 150t in the new year.

Just out of curiosity, what does this go for / used for I mean?

[Big J]

All sorts, but mostly cladding and bee hive construction.

Try having a chat with your local FC officer. They might be able to help. There's some biggish WRC up on Haldon Hill in Devon. FC woods.

Would devon be too far away? I am felling a load of mixed conifer this winter on Dartmoor, I think around 85 cubic meters will be biggish WRC. I'm not marketing the timber but I could pass on your details if your interested. Timber should be roadside by just before christmas

The Commission have very little cedar up here. It's poor quality and overpriced.

 

I'd consider Devon certainly. I'll PM my details.
