Cost of Cherry
I'm in San Diego and the cost of cherry seems to range from $8.90 bf to
$9.20. A sheet of 3/4" cherry ply is $135.00. I just bought a 1/4
sheet of 1/4" cherry for $27.
I also noticed that African Mahogany from the same supplier looks to be
$7.50 or there about per bf.
Why would domestic cherry be that much more expensive than imported
mahogany?
Do these prices seem high?
I'm redoing a couple bathrooms (in cherry) and am building new
doors/drawers. It would be cheaper (but not as much fun) to buy
pre-built, unfinished cherry doors and drawer fronts from commercial
suppliers than to build?
