Grading Lumber
In a week or so I'm going with a friend to a place where there's a lot
of ungraded rough cut lumber racked, stickered and shed dried, and try to ascertain about how much it's worth. I'm pretty sure it'll all be 4/4. Most of it will be white oak with smaller amounts of cherry and probably other local Wisconsin hardwoods. I think we'll be able to determine what species we're dealing with, and how much twisting/ cupping/splitting/knotholes we find. Judging it for figure I think is going to be a problem. I've got price lists for several of the lumber houses in the area. I'm thinking rather than try and grade the whole barnfull, put a price on it lower than the usual price of something like No. 2 Common for that species and tell the buyer it's a mix. Anybody got any suggestions. I'm afraid that for now I'm constrained to keep quiet about the exact location and amount available. I know I'll still get "You better throw that on my pickup" suggestions and actually that might yet happen, but I'm looking for tips on how one might go about inspecting a large amount of stacked lumber and get an idea what's there. |
