I have the oppurtunity to plane and join a load of various tropical
hardwods. Mostly Cocobol and Mahogany and need to figure out what
rate/bf to charge. I techincally won't be charging the person but
doing the milling as a trade for some of the wood.



Instead of a bf rate, why not figger 45/hr + $100 blade charge + fuel
surcharge if you're doing any pu & delivery? Come up with a price your time
and materials were worth, then ask for your fair share of the booty
accordingly.
