:D :D
I've been a hobbyist woodworker since about 2003. As such, I've spent a good deal of time searching for wood...lumber...on the cheap. To this point, I've had very little luck at all. Until yesterday! :)
My local Craigslist showed an ad for a load of cherry and walnut. He only lived a few miles from me, so I called and we met. A transaction was agreed upon, money changed hands, and I brought THIS home...
226562
I did the math this morning. That's approximately 161 board feet of Pennsylvania cherry, and about 41 board feet of black walnut. I gave him $275.00
:cool: :D
Now I just gotta figure out where to put it!!

I hope you like Cherry! :) That's a great score and some nice looking size pieces. $1.71/bdft is definitely a gloat!

Thanks, guys!!:D
I didn't see any curl when I was sorting through it this morning. Definitely mill marks. As far as what I'm going to make....not sure!!

Try living in Colorado, land of endless plains or softwood forests. Deals like Keith's kill me....

I like Lodgepole and Ponderosa pine as much as the next guy, but ... it's like having the same thing, for dinner, night after night after night :)
