Lingesh,

I am guessing that your\seller location is Mysore\Hunsur , Transporting wood for bonafide\own use from Mysore to bangalore legally is not going to be smooth unless you can furnish Taxbill with e-Sugam and saw mill procures transport pass from forest dept . Other wise , if caught Commercial tax department inspectors on the SH17 and inside Bangalore will rip us apart. Not only that the check post forest officials may seize if we don't procure the Transport Pass issued by forest Dept in spite of having a valid tax bill. (I am not denying the fact that day to day basis people smuggle and many times get away paying small bribe , but risky).
a)I am assuming we need to cut the logs in the nearest saw mill. Can you confirm if the nearest saw mill is ready to give us a tax bill and apply for forest dept Transport pass. Also how long will it take to procure the forest dept pass.
b) Where exactly is the logs geographically located and the closest saw mill ?
c) Can we have some pictures of the graded logs, Rs 2000,3000 separately ? Can you publish the yield \ wastage from logs from your previous customers.
Typically the wastage for fairly straight and smaller dia logs( 1 ft) will be 35% to 40% . What is the formula for your calculation of CFT of logs, do you exclude bark or not.
I will give a illustration of cut size cost for the cheapest variety log. ( based on my experience)
Actual Cut size cost per cft
Log Per CFT = 2000
Wastage (40%) = 800
Cutting Charges (roughly translated to cft) = 70/Cft
Planing Charges = 70 / Cft
VAT 14.5% ( Lets say derated to 1500 ) = 200
Total Transport of Log from your place to Saw Mill Lorry (lets say 10 logs of 20ft) = Rs 3000
Total Transport of Cut wood from Sawmill to Bangalore lets say for 50 cft = Rs 5000
Forest Dept Transport Pass for transport of Total cut wood for own use(lets assume around) = 3000
Lets say some one has selected Rs 2000 Log and buying 50 Sqft of Cut Size , actual landed cost will be close to Rs 3500 per cft.
Can you let us know what was landed cost incurred from one of your customers, yield etc.

Lets come to delays.
I do not think , Saw mills will be willing to cut some one else logs easily , we need to book a slot and they need to see that all your papers are clear. In your experience how long will this take ?
Typical time for Forest dept to issue transport Pass.
We need to add any costs of staying as well if its more than 1 day.

Hi

I want to make a king size cot out of teak wood.
I don't want to compromise on the quality of teak which will be used in making the cot.
Can someone suggest whether it is better to buy a ready made cot or it is better to buy teak and make it.
If ready made is better please suggest me the place where I can buy genuine Teak wood cots in Bangalore for a price of around 40K.
Or please suggest where to buy good quality teak.

Regards
Imtiaz

Hi,

If you want a genuine Teak wood cot, better purchase wood and get it ready from a carpenter. Try to get some Indian teak which has more Strength than imported teaks like Gana teak etc..
