huge cedar board What's it worth??????

Can’t help you with pricing but it is a very nice looking board! Your saw project came out excellant!

-- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings

i had some cedar cut and the boards i got were 12 inches wide and 12 feet long..solid heart, no sap wood on the sides…i called and talked to someone at woodcraft, and he said they would be worth whatever the going rate was for cedar….i guess if there was something extra special about the grain pattern or something that set it apart from normal cedar…you might get more…..i dont know for sure though…..you can see whar cedar is going for and maybe bump it up some because of the width of these boards and see id you get any bites….if not…then sell it for whatever is the highest going rate….good luck…..it is some great looking cedar.

$40.00 and I have absolutely no idea why… I liked the board and that is about my limit. Problem: how do you ship a 9’ board and what would that cost? Basically, the price comes down to what is available… supply and how many people want it… demand. Check the internet for board ft pricing… to get a rough approximation?

Wish I lived closer as I would love to have that board for a project I’m working on.

Is it Aromatic Cedar?

Woodcraft sells wood but their prices are HIGH. Ck this out for the upper end.

Put it up for sale on ebay and see what it’s worth. I’ve sold several slabs on ebay and was shocked at how much people will pay for freight. It’s expensive to ship a 74” X 24” slab that weighs 50 lbs from one end of the country to the other. I’ve also bought wood from as far away as Washington State. (I’m in East Tennessee)

$1.75 Bd Ft so 25.00 is about right.

Hey, Dude. You can’t sell an oversized slab like that. Just put it out by the curb and I’ll come down and pick it up Saturday morning.

-- Gary, Huntsville. Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do.

Here in Kentucky red cedar goes for about $1.50 a bf for kiln dried material. Green wood would go for about half that price. You have 13-14 bf of cedar so, like Karson said, $25.00 is about right for kiln dried material.

Thanks folks
It is aromatic
I’m going to put it on Craig’s list first and see if I can see it and the other’s like it(except thicker) locally and not have to mess with shipping right now. Later on I when I get a stockpile built up I am going to try ebay.
If there is anyone close who needs about 150 bf of cedar, pm me, I’ve got at least that much I’m goiing to sell.
Thanks again ya’ll !!!!!!!!!

25 cents/bd foot.. ah.. if you live near me. The reason it’s so low is that it would be because you live near me. If not then it’s worth more, proportionally, the distance you are from my house.

It’s stunning anyway.

Im in northern michigan and i am in need of about 20 natural edge eastern red cedar slabs, but i need them at least 18” wide up to how wide can we go.
Will pay shipping asap.
What are you wanting for them.

I buy sawmill lumber on a regular basis .20 a bd ft if I bring the tree and .40 if I buy theirs, I get alot of cedar since loggers usually knock it down logging pine. I do like to use it and it is a nice looking piece. Jeff

-- Jeff,

i WOULD SUGEST YOU GO DOWN TO YOUR LOCAL WOOD SUPPLYER AND ASK THEM WHAT A PIECE OF CEDAR 10’ LONG 1” THICK AND 14” WIDE WOULD COST YOU, i BET IT WOULD BE A HECK OF A LOT MORE THAN $25. Good Luck – Lou

-- Lou - Maine

Yeah, exactly what LouJC said. Ive got 3 9ft long by 20in wide 7/4 clear VG yelow cedar that i need to price…....
