So I got a tip for some lumber and went to check it out a few weeks back and just got it all to the new house and into my garage (which currrently is blown up from moving in still).
I feel like I got a great deal on this as it is all clear, very nice wood...with that sad I had no choice but to clean him out haha.
Picked up ~150 bf of ash. All 8.5-9 feet 6-10" wide. 5 pieces of 10/4 and the rest is just over 7/4. Thicker stuff is going to be my bench top when I build it in the spring, thinner stuff is going to be planned to around 6/4 and ripped to face frame the carcass of the bench. Got it for $1.50 bf.
Got 75 bf of clear cherry, 13.5 wide a little over 5/4 thich and 9 feet long. $1 bf.
80 bf of clear black walnut 11-12" wide, just under 5/4 and 6.5' long $1.50 bf.
~125 bf of ambrosia/ghost maple, very clear, actually not sure there is a knot in the pile at all. Been air drying for about 5 months so come next summer it will be good to go. Haven't seen this nice of an example locally so I had to get it because I have always loved the look of it, especially when mixed with walnut. $1 bf.
Also have yet to bring to the house, but I finished the haul with 25-30 bf of quilted maple. All clear and about 7-8" wide 4/4 thick and 7' long. $3 bf
That's it for now but here are a few crappy pictures...since it all isnt organiced yet it is hard to get at.
