pghmyn Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I have A LOT of 4/4 rough sawn red oak (about 1,000 BF or more) since it was handed down to me. I have a board that is about 10-11 feet long and 16 inches wide. I could do the BF calculation, but I don't know how many boards I find that are this wide. That's why I ask for an opinion.

TRBaker Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Around here that board would cost you around fifty bucks, plus tax and delivery. That isn't a box stor price of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombarde16 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 10~11 feet we'll approximate as 126 inches long. Your board footage for that plank is therefore: (126 x 16 x 1) / 144 = 14 board feet Rough red oak is usually at the bottom of the scale, assuming it's flat sawn. (Quartered oak that size would a.) have come from a monster tree and b.) would command a premium.) Using Kettle Moraine's price list (they're up in Wisconsin) you're looking at $2.35/bf for Selects & Better, 1.79/bf for #1 Common grade. That puts us at $32.90 for a clear board, $25.06 for one with defects. Lastly, since the board is quite wide, expect a markup of anywhere from 15% - 25% for wide stock. Throw in tax and you'd be at around $40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
