Have you priced lumber lately?

Just went to HD and 2x4x8 is almost $7. Oak, Maple and cherry around $20
a board foot, walnut $32/ft.

What woodworker buys hardwoods from HD or Lowes?Â*Â* Crappy lumber
priced by the linear foot.Â*Â* Much rather buy by the board foot
at a real lumber yard with a much wider (pun intended) selection.


I'm hoping Maple, cherry around $20 a board foot was a type-o.Â* Same for
walnut.
Not a typo, I posted the link to my HD store, did you look?

I wouldn't mind a link to where you buy your #1 select maple or cherry
for half that price. Not saying I don't believe you but it's interesting
for sure. I myself had NO idea lumber has gotten this expensive.

Does this stuff even grow in Texas? I thought live oak, whatever that
is, is what was growing down there. They used that for boat hulls in
the distant past, to stop canon balls, right.

I only got into this because I saw a local guy on YouTube cutting up oak
and cherry for firewood, and he OWNS a nice sawmill... He said he only
mills hardwood 21" and over for lumber. I think he got a zillion folks
telling him he was a fool. He owns a 100 acres of woods, so he has a lot
of raw product for lumber and firewood. He sells firewood, and I'll bet
sooner or later he'll be selling lots of lumber, and little firewood,
and sooner than later..
