This week I was asked if I would like to buy 520 bd ft of 4/4 rough cut red oak. Before I could ask any questions, I was saying yes, I'll buy it, then I asked "How much" I was told "$100" Now the process of planing, jointing and sanding is up next.

Joe "Woody" Woodpecker did say:

You Suck. And I didn't even have to ask first.

I agree, that's no mini gloat. I paid $1.00 a board foot and was happy with that.

May have you beat. 4' x4' x10' bundle of poplar $72 to my door. Same price for red oak, hickory, maple. Did have to throw away about 10% that were substandard out of the lot but that left me with the rest . Best of all it is a repeatable buy. "

I didn't say delivered, I said to my door. Rapogle lumber in Paris Tn. has

4x4x8 ft bundles of lumber for $50, plus $22 gas, one bundle will fill a 16 ft trailer. Some is green and a lot is 6 months or older. Northern lumber in Louisville Ky. has a similar deal in that if you buy a bundle of lumber from them you can haul off all you can carry of kiln dried lumber from thier burn pile. Granted a lot of it is garbage buy a awful lot is better than what you get a lowes and other lumber yards. Check with you local real lumber yard for off cuts, I get a truck load of oak every few weeks from the local mills a lot of it kild dried, for free.

Interesting. Seeing as how I live on the Indiana side of the river from Louisville, I may have to give them a call to see what they say.
