What to do with felled spotted gum
Hi,
I have various lengths of spotted gum (at Kurwongbah, 40 minutes north of Brisbane CBD). Mostly straight lengths, in as-felled condition.
This timber has a thick softwood layer which rots and is attacked by termites, but the core is hard and I have pieces in the 18cm - 25cm range, some possibly thicker, and some 10m plus in length [edit - the hard core is 18 - 25 cm, not including the sapwood].
Some has been down for around 12 years, others more like 5-6 years. Maybe up to ten or so lengths of tree size.
I'd like to have it removed as I'm trying (somewhat optimistically) to establish pasture and to extract the better timbers from piles for fence posts.
Any ideas? Solutions attractive to me range from turning into cash (obviously), to having someone mill them and letting me have a couple of pieces, to cutting up for firewood and letting me have some of the firewood, to mulching and letting me have some of the mulch, through to just taking them away.
Welcome to come and take a look, or I can send photos.
Plenty of room here to do milling, some type of machinery (or 4WD with chains) or a lot of muscle might be required to move logs to position.
If the answer is that no-one is likely to be interested, let me know.
Many thanks
Michael
