Yeh, all I have is chainsaws and a table top type vertical splitter I have been offered it in lengths at £20/tonne but it won't be weighed so probably just a "load". Haven't seen it yet so dunno how big the stuff is, I think it will all be larch/douglas fir

Tillhill or Fountains might be able to sell you some? Can't help you with prices, all I know is they're rising (for soft aswell as hard), the guys at the local sawmill were moaning to me about it If you ever need a hand processing stuff, I have my own saw and petrol splitter, can travel . Can also do vehicle signwriting, and I'm cheap!

Thanks , had a close call with a bonfire that started wandering the other week (had to beat it back with green branches) so thought it may be handy to keep one at hand in the furure Had been looking at the ones stored outside local forests, mainly wire ones 8ft-10ft long, but the heads didn't look possible to make by hand using basic tools I will have to see what flat rubber I can get
