Well yesterday I replied to a post on Craigslist. Even though she said dont ask about how long they are and how much.I did, I asked what she had advertised as maple was eastern or western. And how much is retail which she wanted? She didint reply but she called me today, I just happen to be 3 miles away at the time unless I would of never went cause she had no clue what she had.
I went there she had a whole carport full of western maple, some old fir, butcher top, band saw, planer/jointer. Then some other woods all mixed in.I was most interested in the blue edge painted ones.I asked how much, she told me they were ash and make her an offer. I said well Ill take 50 bd ft for 100. I knew it wasnt ash but I didint want to call her a liar. It was beautiful cherry. All 7 foot to 11ft . I told her id buy more for a better deal.:D She said okay. So i got 110 bd ft for $160. Im trying to buy more tommorrow. Ash that is. She was just happy to let it go and it be used for something nice.
Im happy.
3 pieces are 10.25 x 120 that are high figure, figure as I have ever seen cherry.
Ive also been buying from a guy who sells recyled wood.He has been scoring eastern maple cut offs 15/16 x 49 long anywhere from 2-3.5 wide. he sells them for me for a $1 bd ft. I have 375bd ft. Im building my kitchen cabinets with it. Faces and door frames. I just finished washer dryer room with it.
Ive heard of some really good scores at auctions from folks on this board.Out here seems like if anyone advertises wood theres a line.I didnt have to fight with anyone to get this. It came to me.
