Hey All

8 hours later.... I have a really good understanding of my table saw, new
jointer, and new planer. I also need to get a dust mask, cause I can make
cherry wood filler from my nose.

And the winner is? I don't remember who guessed closest to ~400 board feet
raw. I stopped by the local scale and weighted my van loaded and then
unloaded it. Back to the scale to get a load of firewood for the shop. Going
to need heat to make boards. A difference of ~1200 lbs, no wonder the van
drove like a drunk pig. Took a piece into the kitchen and weighted it. About
3 lbs a board foot.

Since the seller posted this originally on the wreck:

about 200 to 250BF of AD cherry available. $250 FIRM
...
Cash only, you have to load it yourself unless you've enough guts to ask my
mother-in-law to get out there and help you. 1 pickup load should take it
all.

Mike Schwarz: It cleaned up to ~290 board feet. Do you remember the three
wide pieces that had the large knot hole in them. I sold them to a local
college prof who makes "Medieval lutes". Whatever they are? He is a little
wierd but said he would expense it to Bradley U. He was thrilled to get them
and covered $210 of my out lay after I sawed, jointed, and planed them. He
even let me keep the cut offs.

Finally cost: $250(for the wood) + $20(gas) + $6(breakfast) + $7(lunch) +
$8(firewood for stove) + $10(electric & etc.) - $210(Medieval lutes) = $91

$91 for 266 board feet of clean up, ready to use cherry. That would make it
about $0.34 a board foot.

PS There were three frozen walnuts on that hay rack. I wonder if there is
any of it in a barn?
