Ken I said I could get Green doug fir for $45 not kiln dried. Up here I would guess #1 kiln dried 4×8 20ft would go for $70 a stick. Where I live is where they mill Doug fir is milled so it might be less up here. One thing you you might think about is even Kiln dried would 4×4 or thicker will tend to develop cracks over time.
