Almost Gloat and almost free wood for somone
OK, I'm kicking myself now. qty of 3 piles of KD 8/4 Black Walnut heart
wood 400 board feet each pile, and one 200 board foot pile. Suposedly was stored dry for 8 years. (It was in the rain at an auction though). Auctioneer started with the 3, 400 bf, piles first. Winning bidder had choice, 1, 2 or 3 piles at the winning bid price. The guy won the bid at $160 and, of course, took all 3 piles. The smaller pile went for $165. I dropped out of bidding at about $140. My problem was 1, I did not need that much wood for my next project, and 2, I do not have a bandsaw or planner or decent jointer. What I was thinking - If I won I was going to offer to give FREE half or more of the wood to somone here on the wrec in exchange for some resawing and planning work. I'm in SE PA. Would there have been any takers? If there would have been I am really going to kick myself again. -B |
