Air dried Walnut - 200bf for $100
- Status
Hey Jim, is this the thread you are talking about where you mentioned a year or so ago trying to help someone in Youngstown unload their walnut?
"UPDATED 10,000-15,000 BF walnut"
http://ncwoodworker.net/forums/showthread.php?t=20884
Guess you were right about it being an attempt to help him sell. I don't see any posts about a successful transaction or any pics of the wood.
There is a mention at the end of the thread that the seller backed-out and only wanted to sell the entire 10,000-15,000 BF walnut to one person, and the seller had people coming to look at getting it all.
Re-reading that thread, I'm guessing that the buy-it-all options he choose to move to didn't pan out for him and he's ready to re-try here. And that the need for the lumber to be gone within a week due to foreclosure didn't occur.
For this attempt to sell his lumber stash on the forum, has anyone scouted with some pics they can show potential forum buyers?

If I wasn't in Afghanistan I would jump on 200bf in a heart beat but I won't be back till April.:tongue2:

The funny thing is that he couldn't find one buyer at the time and I was one of the people to buy it from him. Both times I went to pick it up there were at least 12-15 NCWW members pulling off the pile and loading it in trucks. If you need a scout for walnut that is 50 cents a board foot, which is recommended by members, then you must miss out on alot of good wood deals:dontknow:. I've gotten 8/4 WO for $1 bd/ft, 4/4 BW for $1 bd/ft, QSRO for $1.50 bd/ft and Cherry for $.50 bd/ft and more, all kiln or air dried, from member recommendations on this site.
He who hesitates loses !
BTW, he originally had over 15,000 bd/ft (the pile was at least 10'h x 24'w x 12' long) now he has less than 6,000 bd/ft.

I'm happy to pay $100 + expenses for anyone who could drop 200bf on me in NW Greensboro (or even on the way back to Charlotte) -

It looks like probably over 2000 bf of interest for a Charlotte run:
decibel - 200-400
mxracer - ?
robb parker - 400
sawman101 - ?
thrytis - 200
shamrock - 200
petem - 100
bwat - 200
tarhead - 200
Based on JimmyC's comment on the pile size (10'h x 24'w x 12' l), it is probably up to 12' long boards. Does anyone have a truck and trailer that would haul that? Given woodweb's lumber weight calculator, 2000 bf would probably be around 6500 lbs.

New thread with info on the run from Charlotte here:

I have the means to haul that no problem.
Here's what I'm thinking/my offer.
Being that I work for a bank I have Thursday off and have taken Friday as well. So I was thinking of running up Thursday (could be convinced to go on another day if Thur is out of the question for everyone) . That would give everyone time to either send/bring me the $$$ for their wood or plan on making the trip with me/us.
From my door to Youngsville is aprox. 195 miles or about 4 hours. So I won't be have time/be able to deliver to anyone in the Charlotte area, 8 hours of driving in a day is enough. Everyone would have to pick up at my place. I have room to store the wood either in a building or at least under shelter for a while, but will also be available Thur, Fri, Sat and Sun for pickup if you want to get it that weekend. After that we'll just coordinate but I work from home so it shouldn't be an issue at all.
I can take 3 x-tra people with me if someone sits in the middle in the back. It's a crew cab truck and my GF is most likely going.
I called and talked to Charlie and he said he's pretty much available any time. I told him I'd call him this week if I/we were coming to see him.
[STRIKE]To be honest about it if it's just me going I'm still on the fence about it cause of the drive, but if others commit and we have a good run going as Eric mentions above I'm all in.[/STRIKE]
UPDATE: There are at least 2 others that are in for getting wood so the run is ON.
If you're in, PM me and I'll shoot you my cell number and we can plan.
Thanks
Dan
