Was this a good deal??

[Mike Metz]

so i Went to my local lumber yard looking for about 20bf of hard maple for a mantel project. i left with 160bf of 4/4 Select grade 6' hard maple @ $2.00bf i had to buy it all to get it for that price, after i was done unloading it im wondering if its really a good deal?

the middle stack boards are 6-8" wide, the small stack are 6" & under, the other is 8" or more with the widest being 13"

If it's KD then you got a very good deal. If you're really lucky, you'll find a few of those boards have some curly or bird's eye grain in them.

That is an amazing deal. I can't even get $2/BF when I buy 1000' at a time.

[Ira Matheny]

Was not a good deal... WAS A GREAT DEAL! About 25% to 40 % of what you would pay for the best deal in Central CA

[Jamie Buxton]

It depends. If you have a use for 160 bdft of maple, then it is a great deal. If not, you just have a $300 pile of clutter in your shop.

[johnny means]

you suck!!

[Harold Burrell]

you suck!!

+1..... :p

[Michael Dunn]

Uh... Yeah!!! That's only $0.32 more than I pay for Poplar!!! I wish I even had the room to store that much lumber.

Good find!

...and of course...

You suck!!!

[Brian Libby]

That is a great deal- Where I buy, hard maple is $4.80 for 4/4 FAS rough under 9" wide with a 10% discount over 100 bd ft!

It depends. If you have a use for 160 bdft of maple, then it is a great deal. If not, you just have a $300 pile of clutter in your shop.
Exactly. Maybe a maple tool chest.

[Mike Metz]

Yes its KD. While i don't have a use for all of it (as of now) i do have a kitchen build im going to start soon where im planing to use it for the drawers and pull outs. it just seemed to good to pass up.

[Aleks Hunter]

YOU got took. In the spirit of goodwill, I'll let you can drop it off at my shop and I'll give you your money back, plus a little for gas ;)

[Phil Thien]

I guess it all depends on location. Here in Wisconsin my source charges $2.25 BF any quantity.

[Frederick Skelly]

Good for you Mike! Enjoy!

[Rich Engelhardt]

$2 to $4 a bf for air dried rough here in NE Ohio. $2.50 to $5.00 for kiln dried rough. A whopping $11 to $14 for kd, S4S in widths wider than 7.5".

[Raymond Fries]

Yes an awesome deal indeed. You can now make HUGE piles of sawdust making something.

Take Care and Enjoy...

[Calvin Jamison]

Yeah! Its a good deal! I pay that much for poplar. I'm jealous.

[Troy Turner]
