What’s the going price/tonne for firewood grade not super straight (processor-able stuff) for hardwood and softwood? Probably collected on 8 tonne timber trailer. Cheers
-
Never thought of that 😁🤦🏻♂️
-
Anyone? North wales forestry companies? Contractors? Money waiting and a slice of cake 😁

Full load of hardwood wanted lots of ash die back thinning and felling happening. Yard to drop off. Will pay. Options considered. Anglesey - Near Church bay

30th June here and burning some hawthorn and birch. Damp and 11 degrees!

Long way from Devon this! Staffs moorlands! Plenty of coppicing to ground level, at least we can make it regenerate properly for the next hedgelayer to come along! Landowner is pleased anyway, plenty of firewood and the pleachers we’ve chosen and used are generally good.
-
Couple of pics for you and bits we’ve done. Not so nice!!
-
Lowest coppice stool is about 18 inch off the ground, so multi stemmed above that and tall! Definitely more productive to re coppice properly but we’ve been asked to lay it so we shall try! Not following any particular style, it may get some stakes in it to secure pleachers. Cheers
-
Well that would help wouldn’t it!! Will get some pictures when I’m next there, but it’s not a pretty thing!

Intrigued to know what the lads/ladies doing it full time would do. Laying a hedge today, 100% hawthorn but coppiced 15+ years ago so big thick stool, multi stems and way up off the ground. I’ve saved what I can do, but it’s a hard nasty hedge. Would you price it high, or just tell the landowner it needs re coppicing to ground level? Cheers!

Cheers looks like it’s welded at the join though?

I’m after a solid forged Yorkshire billhook, no weld. Some of these vintage ones on auction sites are ridiculous money so I’d rather buy something new. Morris of Dunsford no longer going can anyone recommend where to look brands/shops/websites? Thanks Ron

Ash dieback effect on firewood quality
BigRon replied to Welsh cleaning services's topic in Firewood forum
Just my experience but I cut an ash stem up with dieback last year and it burnt like a pig. Gave very little heat off. -
I’m based in Cheshire but can travel reasonable distance and could post it if needed. cheers

Thanks for the replies. My mechanical skill is basic to say the least, Steve has politely said he’s not taking any new work on does anyone have a recommendation for somewhere or someone to have a look?
