Cost of Wood and Charges per Board Foot
Canada is looking pretty good right now... As is western PA.
Actually I'm in western PA where I recently found a rather small father/son
run sawmill, just north of Pittsburgh.
On my last trip up I picked up about 35-40 bf for about $80.
It was a mixed lot of 4/4 & 7/4 cherry, 4/4 WOak, 4/4 sycamore
and a 3x3x72 piece of soft maple
All rough
Add $10 for gas and still less than $3/ bf
FWIW, even the local Rocklers' sells S3S ROak for $3.50 - $4.00
