Mega Timber Haul, European Oak, Sapele, Iroko & Redwood

[Adam Mada]

Got myself a mega haul. About 10 pallets of european oak, sapele, iroko and a bit of redwood.

To give you an idea of what I'm talking about, the timber ranges from 50mm x 75mm to smaller bits at 20 x 50mm, in lengths between 4ft and 8ft. There is a bit of oak tongue and groove too. All PAR.

I can't use all this myself. Splitting some with a friend but still too much. I'm thinking of selling a bit here or on eBay. What kind of value are we talking per square foot?

The other day I was offered some Brown Oak, 4" thick and 2" thick. 10 Years old and it was offered at £50.00 a cube, to clear. That's berry berry good! It wasn't long enough for my purposes, and I have nowhere to store what I ain't using! So I had to pass.

At my usual supplier I have to pay upwards of £45.00 for English Oak, 1.25" thick.
Through the trade Oak is classed as medium priced
Iroko as low priced
Sapele as low priced.

HTH

Thanks, luckily I didn't pay anywhere near £45 for the oak!

Oh well, I don't live near to a forest! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I reckon £45.00 is reasonable for good English Oak. I just need enough for a dining suite. (Sans sideboard)

So I reckon £250.00 will cover it with some left over!
Leaving aside the labour, where could I buy a table and six chairs for that price? (Unless I buy rubbish flat-pack.)

How long was it?

Custard,

4 and 5 foot lengths. I need 7 footers at least for a dining table. There were some among the lot, but they had gone ! I probably could have used it for legs, and cross stretchers, but I want to make the selection from the same bole if possible.

Just my luck. Looks like I'll be using ordinary oak.. (Well as ordinary as oak ever is.)

Thanks John, too short for me too. Ah well.

Ah well indeed. 'Tis a pity. Brown Oak would've been nice for my Hayrake table! No need to fume!
