That depends on a lot of factors. Grade, thickness, width, length etc. A rough 4" wide board of Cherry that's 4' long and has lots of knots and checks might be worth $1/ bf. A good price for a 10" wide board of Cherry 8' long that is perfectly clear and surfaced on two sides would be $4/bf.I've found a new source of lumber and I think the prices are good. What do you think is a good price on Walnut, Cherry, WO and RO per bf?
In additon to Bas and Gregory's comments, I would also add that very wide boards also bring a premium, as do highly figured boards.
I travel between Columbia SC to north of Boone, If anyone knows of a good lumber supplier between these two points or between Boone and Fayettville phone # and address would help
Thanks Greeker

I'm lucky, I have three good lumber suppliers within a 7 mile drive from my home and shop so I get what I need when I need it and keep only the necessary wood in the shop for immediate use. I wouldn't know how to act if I had to drive for several hours to get lumber.
Well right now I'm getting FAS Walnut and Cherry, rough for 2.25 a bf.
At that price I will take a truck load. Of each. Sounds more like log run than FAS. Where is it so I can go get some?
Well if anyone would like to get any at my price, I'll post on here and get some pics of it. I'll also try to get the wife to take a picture to of some of the walnut and cherry I got. I think all and all what I planed out was about 50 ft or more. The only thing he doesn't have is QSWO, so I may need to get up with scott sometime about that. Next time I go home to visit family I'll try to get ahold of him and see if any of you want any. I think he had some RO 12/4 for about $3.00 and some 10/4 Walnut about $3 of $4 I'll get a price list from him.
