Was searching the net and found this site:

If you buy in bulk you can get 8/4 poplar for $0.08/bft, 4/4 Walnut for
$0.27/bf, and 4/4 ash for $0.09/bf.


Checked his poplar prices for the listed 4/4 2000 BF, at $770 per 1000 BF,
which works out to 72 cents a BF. Reasonable, but it ain't nowhere near what
your calculator gave you. And my check of the 8/4 gave $1.26 a BF.

One of us needs a new calculator.

Are you forgetting that when you're buying 18,000 BF at $1260 per M you need to
multiply that M by 18?
