Of course, that will depend on where you're located- if you're
anywhere in the midwest, those two are often less expensive than
knotty pine. Elsewhere, they might be premium woods- hard to say.

If you live in the Midwest, you're in luck. There is a lumber company
call Liberty Hardwood Inc. in North of Kansas City, MO. They sell
rough sawn Oak (railroad tie) for around $1.75 b/f and they even
deliver if your total purchase is more than $350 (I think).
