ok now you need to know how to figure board feet as most people looking at this kind and this amount of lumber will be talking about board feet as the unit of measure. Board Feet = (width x length)/144 and then multiplied times thickness So there are over 22 board feet in just 1 of those 7 “beams” you have that are 5.5 by 5.5 and 108 inches long What you have is called Air Dried (as opposed to Kiln Dried) Prices vary quite a bit based on where you are, but I’m in western new york (not far from Niagara Falls) and right now there is a lot of air dried cherry available here for about $1.50 a bd ft.. I’m stressing AGAIN that prices in Michigan may be quite different, but that gives you at least an idea of how to figure out exactly what you have. The condition of the boards themselves is hugely important as well. If they have insect damage or active insect infestation, if they have any rot that needs to be cut out, etc. Those would be bad, obviously. That help? |
