Amersham Saw Mill

The logs were delivered in a well filled cubic meter bag. Testing them with a moisture meter almost all the logs were well below 25% moisture content.

I ordered 1m3 of mixed seasoned logs for home delivery. The price and ordering process were both great. There was a delivery delay due to volume of orders, but they were proactive and flexible with finding alternative dates so I can't fault them on that. Only problem is the wood itself! The logs I received were very wet. The website estimates 25% moisture content but (according to my moisture meter) most were between 25% and 30%, with quite a few of them above 30%. I thought it might be a problem with my moisture meter, but I tested it on some kiln dried logs (it showed around 12%-14%) and some logs from another supplier (it showed about 18%-21%) so it seems to be giving accurate readings. When burning the wood I got a lot of smoke and hissing, so as a result I have it all stacked up and covered in the garden to dry out over 2023 - hopefully it will be ready to burn by next winter. Disappointing as I then had to go and buy more wood from a different place. While the website doesn't *technically* claim their wood is 'ready to burn', but it also doesn't say (as far as I can tell) that you'll need to season it for another year before you can actually burn it... Three stars because the price and delivery were good if you have the time to dry the logs, but I unfortunately I can't say I'd recommend to a friend.

I called to see if I could buy some logs offcuts for wood turning. The person who was in the yard was on the phone . We waited when he eventually acknowledged us the rudeness and arrogance and total disinterest from the person was unbelievable.now Im from up north but my friend who is from Watford had the same opinion as myself southern hospitality as far as I am concerned it does not live at this place of business.
