First of all am I right in thinking that lengths of possibly chestnut 12 inch by 3inch or 1inch are very hard to come by nowadays? As that rarity is what I'm working on as far as effort to save it from a skip / woodburner / something other than really nice furniture.
On the above assumption, could anyone possibly ballpark the value of something like this for me plz? - I ask as it might be worth spending the cash to hire a van and take a day to come get a good portion of it and bring it back to Bristol, where some of the forum members (and other woodworkers) in this part of the country might want to have some of it, for a price that takes the sting out of getting it, but less than it might have otherwise cost.
Alternatively, could it possibly be palletized at 8ft lengths? - I know you can get pallets big enough to take that, and then I could look at prices to get it shipped here.
As you can probably tell I'm quite keen to get my hands on some or more of it, and willing to share it out with other woodworkers once it's over here.
For storage we currently have a smaller shipping container in the "builders yard" area that's rented by the builder, who owes me more than a few favors and I could ask him to have it racked up on one side of it, I'm pretty sure you could get a fair few boards in there all nice n dry.
I really am quite serious about this possibility if the numbers add up reasonably.
