Local west coast mill is offering kd White oak, 8-foot lengths, s2s, 1



1/8-inch, varying widths for $1.35 per bf. I don't buy much lumber, but he has 300 bf sitting there ready to go. So is that a fair/cheap price for the area? seems like a good buy, but would like to here from the wreck...

Thanks - Schroeder


unless it's full of cracks or knots or something else negative, that sounds very good

If you let me know where it is, I will make the decision easy for you... it won't be there. :)

Yes. That is a good price and if I wasn't full up to my eyelids in oak, I would have jumped on it. I think I saw that in the Oregonian? SH - From Astoria

Everyone lookout! It's a gloat!

Seams/seems like a great buy.

That's almost criminal, it's so cheap. I'd nab a bunch of it at that price, and I'm not even a big fan of oak.

Don't know about the area all the way on the left coast and too far north besides, but in my corner of Virginia that would be cheaper than what poplar goes for at my local wood supplier.

Name of the mill? City? Phone number? Address? Minimum purchase required? Any QS?

Thanks everyone for the help..., good to know I wasn't just being cheap. I guess it is now officially a "gloat"...its in my shop now.

So you're not going to tell us where the mill is located or how to contact them?
