I go into the material section and then type in various woods, usually cherry, ash, maple, oak, locust and sycamore. Because the results are limited to just one location there usually isn’t enough listings and craigslist will show similar listings in the area. Might require a longer drive but this evening I found hemlock for 58 cents a BF, locust for a 1.50 a bf, red and white oak for 1.50-2.00 bf and cherry for 2.50. Just have to keep looking and it does show up. I’d also look for whatever the common local hardwood is. Cherry is common throughout this area and PA, unfortunately oak seems the most common, end result is some really cheap prices. The time or two I’ve seen redwood listed or spanish cedar the prices were outrageous in comparison.
