I've got some air dried cherry in your area I would sell cheap. There is
about 200BF (rough estimate) of it and I'll take $250 for the lot. It was
cut in 1999 and
stickered in a barn up until last week, now it is on a hayrack and being
moved about the farm. 4/4 and 8/4 random length/width/grade. Cash only,
and you have to do all the loading yourself.

Located near Calamus.

E-mail me if you are interested.

Thanks,
Mike

I'm planning to make 2 or 3 bookcases. I would really like to make them
out
of Cherry but the plans call for 2 sheets of 3/4" plywood (both sides
visible), 35 board feet of 4/4, and 1 sheet of 1/4 plywood (1 side
visible).

So far I've seen prices of the 3/4" Cherry plywood at around $96 and 4/4
lumber running at around $4.50 per board foot. At these prices, it'll cost
me almost $400 apiece just for the wood! This is in east central Iowa.
Most
of the stuff I've built lately has been out of oak. Have I just had my
head
under a rock or is Cherry this expensive everywhere else too? Walnut
plywood
is about the same price although the lumber is around $4.00/bf.
