• Not sure this could as gardening either, but we took an oak tree down last week and sold the trunk on today to be made into planks, was slightly sketchy dragging it out and loading it...

  • looks a bit bendy and knotty for planking. what sort of money do you get for an oak butt like that these days?

    when i was tree surgeoning (many years ago obvs) it was not worth the hassle of arranging haulage etc for a whole trunk over the price of firewood unless you had something really special.

  • It was just over 6m long, so he was thinking worst case he could cut it in half.

    Only got £350 for it, but the alternative was cut it up for firewood, and I already have about 100 cubic metres of firewood, so figured I might as well get some money for it...
