It's 11' 7.5" long, we don't have time for milling but you can always make us an offer we usually sell to AJ Scott or chantler when we get a load together, we have a couple of oak logs sitting also if someone is interested in them. Don't know how many tons of oak have come down over the last couple of summers but theres alot of stuff to come out of the wood if we have time.
-
maybe it was Sekelbosor or Kameeldoring and started off at 1%
-
Thanks for the reply I'll probably sell it now although I have plenty storage space I don't have any milling done just sell the logs.
-
Had to fell a sycamore on Friday it's wrong time of year I know so is it just good for firewood now? or maybe it only ever was firewood.
-
I get 12% to 14% around late aug sept and by nov it gets back up to 22% or thereabouts.
-
my experience with it also, doesn't burn gives no heat was 3yr seasoned ended up mixing it with some spruce I had.

How much discount on unseasoned wood sales?
Logsnstuff replied to adowning7's topic in Firewood forum
why are you worried about putting it in sheds let it sit outside through the summer and when the season starts that's what goes first. -
I have to ask if the palax is the right machine to buy once why are people on their 2nd 3rd etc. I only have experience on posch myself it is one of the more expensive out there but 6 yrs without a problem. reason I didn't buy palax initially was the blade, same as on the cheapest posch I prefer the sealed blade where the wood can't skirt around which is on the larger processors.
-
even the 30t splitters can get stuck and you end up working with just the tip of the blade trying to crack it.

Only cord I like is the one that runs from the fridge to the socket and keeps the beers cold.

Wanted - Large loads delivered to West Cumbria (not for resale)
Logsnstuff replied to name_mike's topic in Firewood forum
I can deliver as far south as cumbria 8 bags at a time free delivery. -
back when i did alot on fleabay i got done a few times on the shipping sending stuff out to china they would request surface shipping then after you notified them goods were sent they would file a claim for non receipt and get their money back, luckily items were low value and when I started buying I was more cautious had a russian try and do me over some vases for $8k I'd used paypal and made sure it was funded from credit card so when the vases never turned up the credit card got the money back.

I started off with used tattie boxes and was lucky to get 1 season without some boards coming loose and as I don't do tipper loads is better for me with bags and just collect them on the next order no mess no hassle.
-
I get pm's on a diff site from american and canadian firewood merchants who are starting to do bulk bags instead of cords so it's not just the UK. you will also find australian merchants doing bulka bags and bundy bags which are 1m3. I don't sell the air in my bags so maybe I should put another £20 on as im giving something away free of charge atm. Selling by the steer cord etc is outdated, labour costs are to high to hand pack the logs and sell at an affordable price. regulation kills industries just have to look at forestry here the quality of site care and timber going down the roads is shocking, the 4ft high stumps you get now that would have had you fired 20 years ago that's what regulation and certification brought.
-
I posted mine on the site last year somewhere, does add extra weight but the conveyor is held with chains, only problem I find is if you are splitting near the max diameter the load of logs going up the conveyor along with the extra weight of the sieve can rock the processor if its not connected to the linkage, I use a 5m conveyor though but I wouldn't run a processor now without one, had too many people complain about the dross in the bags before.
-
you will need to watch for them degrading.
-
you have to define seasoned that's the issue, a log left in the round for 18 24 months can still be 35%+mc but some merchants will sell it as seasoned on the time it's lay there rather than sticking a moisture meter in it, so someone will eventually have to set a standard % for seasoned some say 20 others 25 at the moment also too many people still sell ton loads based on the payload of the delivery vehicle rather than on volume or the actual weight of the load. I'd say its inevitable that some form of regulation will come in the future.
-
Pulp is small diameter goes for chip 2m 3m lengths Pallet is larger as name implies goes for milling into pallets short boards 2.5m then your logs 3.8m 4.2m 4.9m etc only ever seen hardwood pulp referred to as cord on this site.

no death duties on forests so they wont remove everything
-
ye Jon don't like being jealous of the shermans but they got 1 nice log selling winter maybe our turn next year.
-
still have most of this seasons in the yard and about 30% done for next seasons quota.

thanks

If I went back to harvesting would be softwood and I don't really fancy life back in a caravan/portacabin been there and done that it's the safety net if everything else fails then I'll hide out in the woods. have an old harvester sitting there which could be fixed up enough for a start and the forwarder is still in decent condition although its old.

forgot to put in I don't do tree surgery landscape gardening or sawmilling just firewood I look to do around 1,000 bags a season making a fiver a bag doesn't really work. around me if you take out the guys working for cash and the usual tree surgeons and gardeners my main competiion with the logs are timber haualage contractors x2 garden nurseries also x2 timber management company and several farmers they can all afford to slash prices and break even on the logs not really an option for me.

I've paid upto £55 a tonne delivered in £5.50 a bag to store it, the 18 months the money is tied up to season the wood (thats not free), wear and tear depreciation, delivery costs at 14 mpg, insurance,vat, yard rent just to start with of the top of my head I'm sure theres more costs I've forgotten oh ye and the dirty word some profit.
