I have the opportunity to get some rough cut, air dried Walnut for about $2.50-$3.50 a b.f. It is being sold by a guy who cut down a tree on his property. It has been air dried for about 3 years now and ranges from 3/4 to 8/4 (widths from 6” – 12”)
I have not had the opportunity to go and see it yet (2.5 hr drive) and wanted to get some advice on what I should look for when I go look at it. He has a little of 1,000 b.f and said most is of good quality. I am new to walnut and rough cut lumber so any advice would help. I don’t want to waste money on lumber that won’t be able to be used for furniture and other projects. I have access to a moisture meter if I need it. Thank you.
