To be fair, all have been helpful and Wessex pointed out that some of these trees would have been well over 100 years old.
However, in Canada, WRC for that cutting list is about 50 quid - here it seems to be a minimum of 4 times that.
Regarding toxicity, I have FFP3 masks, goggles and good extraction, so hopefully am covered (literally!)
Now looking at the offcut sales on eBay etc. to see if I can sneak in there....
I know you probably live a long way from Wessex Timber but, when we lived about 5 miles from them, I regularly went down there and picked up a lot of offcuts very cheap. They always used to say on their website, no callers, but I feigned ignorance!
Not sure what shipping all the way from North America costs for such timber, but that would add something to the price I am sure.
