What do _you_ pay locally for these examples of domestic hardwoods?

About $6/bf for decent 12/4 cherry, and about $5.50 for 4/4 cherry.
Last time I bought walnut I think it was around $6 also. This is in
Phoenix, AZ. The lumber places I use are much more friendly about
measuring, too.

But where are you, Greg? So I know not to move there :-)

I started building a bandsaw mill because of the lumber prices, I
can't afford to make anything if I buy it at the store.

Plus, I have access to at least 200 acres of woods (as long as I
don't try to log it all) and I have some tree service friends that
call me when they get something I might want.
