    The cost of the logs you bought and the cost of logs your recommending on ebay is the same. That's just how much logs cost. I wish they were cheaper too, then I wouldn't need to split 60 tonne a year to feed my boiler. Saying that I also wish holidays to oz were cheaper too and a new dmax but for now ill just keep on splitting.

    Please big J, enlighten, how can you be so sure its European?

    If I had to make one I'd use a couple of old builders tressles and link them together with a bit of scrap.

    Made sure I waxed it well before I took it out, but after about the first two boards it seemed to be gone. Might try silicone spray though and see if its any better.

    Been drinking nettles beer the last few months, can't wait to get the press working, any day now.

    Start booking you holiday!

    Sounds like there in the business of destroying the competition. Maybe you should undetprice a few jobs and subtly post there Flyer a few days later.

    But how much postage ontop. This worries me as I was considering a Lucas. Surely all spares should be easily available?

    It's great firewood, but better for milling.

    Nice work mate, you should of used the flash on all the shots though:D lol.

    Sandspider, large one is 6ft long. Solid oak with no sapwood. Would make you one for £250. Could deliver for 50ish whenever(courier price would need confirming, or my sis lives in your area so if you could wait for my next trip down I would deliver for £20, but someone would need to be there to help me unload.

    Make sure its not capped off and run it dry.
  14. muttley9050
    Thickness in general will only affect the price pro rata. 2" worth twice as much a 1". But takes twice as long to dry so you will have to store for longer before reaching a good price. Big j will be able to give you the best idea of values of different woods but unless you take the time and expense to set up a business like big j, you will struggle to easily sell timber for the same value as him.

    I'm sure that's what I meant to say Clive.

    There is money in a good root ball, IF you can find a buyer. There's also money in planks, if you season them well, have a nice colour and IF you can find a buyer. What part of the country you in Jesse? I been looking for a couple of highly valuable walnut butts to mill for a project I have in mind.
  17. muttley9050
    But its a highly valuable black walnut tree?
  18. muttley9050
    Surely 5'17" is 6'2"?
  19. muttley9050
    Probably cheaper to get one made than import from USA.
  20. muttley9050
    Very philosophical pat!
  21. muttley9050
    What work do you do bowlander?
  22. muttley9050
    A repost I know, but it creases me up just thinking about it!
  23. muttley9050
    Regardless of all the sarcasm etc, you may be unhappy with the quantity of logs you got. The point is if the bag was full, then you got a reasonable deal and are unlikely to do much better. Take into account the value of the unsplit timber, cost of splitting, cost of filling bag, cost of loading van, cost of delivering logs, cost of driving home again. It all adds up. I don't know what you do for a living but I know a lot of folk who would earn that £50 before your seller would of had time to get the axe out and split the first log. You asked your seller how big his bags were and he told you they were about 0.7m3 not that they would hold this much in stacked logs.

    Ditto. Welcome and look forward to your pics/ input. James

    I'm no expert, but surely with the lr pulling on the dodge the frontwheels will be slightly lifting leaVing the rear doing most of the work anyway?
