My clients in Ireland haven't tried it, ash has a long tradition with the game of hurling. Hard to invisage another specie being used, but if dieback does limit our ash supplies something else will have to be considered.

As far as I know it has never been tested, ash has a long tradition within the game of hurling, I just couldn't invisage any other specie being used.

Yes Kevin roughly 8 butts with a diameter of 36 to a cubic meter. No unfortunately it wouldn't be suitable for Hurley making. Hurley makers have in the past experimented with maple, but it's not as flexible and when dry breaks quiet easy.

£230 per m3, when the top is removed like this case above.

Having returned home to Ireland from felling hurley ash in a well managed Estate in England, I would just like to thank the Arbtalk members that have sourced me ash this year. More UK Forestry people are taking notice of this market, mainly because the price we are paying for the bottom 1.4 meters of the tree & the way our team works. In this Estates case, a team of top quality Forestry harvesters entered the two woodlands before my team arrived on site. They topped the suitable tree's and left the butt remaining(1.4 meters long) ref to pictures. This method means we can pay more for the ash, as it makes it faster to fell the butts without the top of the tree intact and also makes our work an awful lot safer. I received good news the past few weeks to expect a very busy year felling hurley ash in the UK, so don't hesitate to get in touch if your considering thinning your woodlands or Forestry people in general wanting to learn more. Always glad to answer people's queries related to this topic.

For the many enquiries we have had about our minimum requirement to travel to the UK for ash tree's suitable for hurley's. Our minimum load to travel would be 30 - 50 suitable tree's.

We would certainly be interested as we will be in the UK in the next two weeks to begin felling in an Estate. I will pm you there for more information and postcodes etc. Kind regards, Gerry Ryan.

Yes we can extract the Hurley butts ourselves with the use of our quad bike which leaves no mess to the woodland.
