Need help with lumber price

I am a few hours up the road from you. Middle Tn. Nashville area. I buy my lumber from local sawyers here and in Ky. All my stock is rough. Cedar was ‘bout 1.10bf for 4/4 last time I bought any. I’m thinkin’ it was in April of this year. Goes up in the fall …..comes down in March or so. Been that way since I can recall. Hope this helps. Really like your wood demon…...and looks like you have a nice young group of able bodied helpers!!! Bill.

Thanks Bill that helps a lot!!

I can’t really help you with price but I can tell you that stock looks pretty good from the pictures. On par with the #1 & btr stock I am used to seeing. Good luck with your mill I hope things work out. It seems the economy has been pretty tough on certain businesses esp. sawmills.

This site has price lists for what they sell there lumber for http://www.hardwoodint.com/dowpricguidi.html

You know, you can find this sort of pricing information online, its the magic of ‘the Google’.
For Example Hearne Hardwoods has the following:
Cedar (Aromatic) 4/4 Unselected 4” to 8 1/2” 8’ to 12’ $3.00

I don’t feel like internet pricing is comparable. you get professionally graded, kiln dried material there. they can also sell to anywhere. a buyer should get a discount unless you offer all these services. I’d say craigslist is more of a benchmark for selling air dried lumber that is milled as a hobby/parttime business.

Just my opinion.

Ah the beautiful two eyed wonder I love that contraption well done brother I wish you were my neighbour. all you would hear was TIMBBBBBBBBBBER Alistair

I’d like to find a piece or two of that 8/4 stuff. I’d like to turn a few bowls from cedar.
