Silky Oak (G. robusta) log prices
Hi everyone
I am new to the forum and the art of sawmilling, so please forgive me if I demonstrate some level of ignorance.
I want to get some idea on the market price for silky oak log (g. robusta) in the northern NSW and SE Qld region. Can someone give me some ideas about the price for log?
My rough guess is; the green slab sells about $1000/m3, so half of the cost is to mill, plus labour of $30/hour, say two hours, plus transport say $100, this comes to $340, Say 30% profit, the max log price paid is around $240, does this sound right? or market price is very different from region to region?
thank you for your help
Nick
