Just gotta gloat about this one. Found an ad on CL for rough cut oak and walnut lumber. Advertised as 175 bf of walnut for $225 and $1 a bf for the oak (approx 300bf). Had to take all the walnut and whatever amount of oak I wanted. I got the entire stack along with about 40bf of cedar for $300. Tha walnut is mostly shorts, 2-6 ft, and 4/4 to 12/4 thickness. The oak is 10-12 ft and 5/4 to 12/4 thickness. The seller said all of it was kiln dried to >10%. Thanks for letting me gloat... Scott  |

I'd say ya done good, Scott.
Around here walnut is $5/bf, and red oak is $3/bf. (+-)
Do you have plans for it, or just gittin it while the gittin's good?

Wanted the walnut for a planned project (spice chest) and the oak was just cause it was cheap. I may sell some of it to lessen the cost even more.

Looks like $2000 to me.
A stack like that for $300 would be worth driving to pick up from here!

Hmmm...even the dog is suspect.  |

Finally got it unloaded. The dog is correct to be suspect. There was only 250 bf (+/-) of the oak. 9 of the boards are 5/4x12.25"x12' and clear, 1 is 12/4x9"x12' and clear. There is more walnut than 175bf but most of it is shorts. Think I should carry it back and demand my money back?  Scott |
