matt samuel

got a browns pto saw bench that we dont use now. sliding top.

work in metric.

87 inch = 2.21m

63 inch = 1.60m

15inch = .38m

2.21 x 1.6 x .38 = 1.34m cube

I would also be interested, Herefordshire based. PM Me please

what sort of weight or volume would be in that first pallet? pm if you like, Do you do timber frames?

would £30/m3 for seasoned confier be over the odds?

What would be a fair price to pay for roadside? found some quite close to me. could work out quite well with the chap but dont want to be paying over odds compared to getting wood delivered in.

is there not wood galore in your direction. i know of a bloke builth wells direction who may be able to help you

You dont get slab wood in rounds so need to worry about that. If its 20% moisture it would have been a tonne when green so if you buy for £20 its a bargain. You should get 1.5 -2 cubic metres out of it.

I know the slab wood does not come in rounds. Sorry for confusion, i was trying to say/work out at what price does the slab wood become cost effective against buying a load of wood in in the round. And working out what about seeing if anyone local to me would be willing to do bulk rate no hassle on processed wood untill i get my next shed up where i can store and process wood myself.

Depending where you are, we sell slab wood, bundles of larch 20 a bundle. Were down In Sussex though

What sort of dry weight do you get in a bundle, what i had was about 15-20%mc and the bundle came in at 680kgs on my eletronic weigh platform. just trying to find most cost effective way of feeding the boiler. Always got straw here on site as back up.

Slabwood is a piece of piss to cut, all you need is a decent chop saw. Not much in the way of justifying kit required.

 

Depending upon distance I would look to either take a lorry at a time, or if local leave your trailer there for him to load as he goes then pick it up, process it and return it (or ideally leave another trailer there when you collect). The less times either of you you have to touch the wood, the better value it is for both parties.

I was not on about the lad cutting the slab wood. can so do that with the chainsaw no prob. was more refering to wood in the round needing cutting/splitting. as at present fairly busy with farming.

£50 a builders bag would be a retail price to Joe Bloggs. If you need a fair bit for your own use then look to buy timber by the ton in lengths. Round here softwood slabwood goes for £25-30 a ton.

I was using the £50 a bag as a ref as the bloke was using that as his ref, i was looking to do a deal as would take it year round and keep his yard tidy. trying to have a fair price.

I am looking to buy it in per ton and cut it, but also on the other had if someone local to me came to a arrangement, it could provide someone with a known amount of work each year and help them justify their kit.

Slabwood will burn fine. If you can get it cheap enough then go for it.

what would sort of price would you say cheap enough be? if a builders bag is £50 ish

hi all, my first post,

I Know where i can get some what i would call outside trimmings from a saw mill of larch, not sure what they are called properly but its from a saw mill and its from when they square up the round for further sawing into various timber sizes.

It does naturally have quite a high ratio of bark to wood, now what do you guys think this will burn like?

Thanks

Matt

Or if anyone knows where i can get some dryish wood from that would be another option. looking for a fair bit as just got a biomass boiler fired up. it will run on straw but thought would try to find wood. take up to 4ft lenghts, some can be longer.
