I just bought 200 bf of red oak for 1.85 a bf. There are several boards that are 12' wide nothing under 5 inches.

WOW! Great price.
Might be worth a trip for me from AZ. Does he usually have a stock or was this a one time deal?

He said he could get as much as i wanted. 2.05 for white oak. If you buy 500bf it goes to 1.75bf and 1000bf goes to 1.65 this is for the red oak.

Those boards look great. I woulda gone for the white oak, but your boards look pretty nice nonetheless! Nice steal
Excellent price.
I by select red oak at 1.92 bf for 10" or better, nothing under 10". Just picked up 75 bf along with some hickory, poplar, and pine.
I went with the red oak because I am in the middle of a red oak project.

but the wood I am seeing in the pictures looks to be somewhere around 8 to 12" long. What am I missing?
For the record, I buy 4/4 Red Oak, kiln dried, regardless of volume at $1.65 bdft and it is nice clear stuff too.

Come on in friend, here's what you'll find
A well used shop where you can rest your mind
The beer's cold and the wood is dry
We keep the Red Oak piled 6 feet high
They are all about 106'' long, they are under my newly built assembly table. It is usually alot higher around here, the best that I have found that is good quality and dry and finished is around $3 a bf or more. There are two sawmills close buy that want $2 bf for green oak. I did find some in huntsville for.75 for rough green cut oak.

He also gave me a 8'' wide 10' long piece of beech to mess with to see if I liked it.

So where is the mill?
Not bad, but that's about what I pay for QS red oak here.
Where is here? I would love to find any better deals even if I had to do a little driving, just turn the trip into a mini vacation of sorts.
