I bought the wood mshel posted the other day, but could not haul it all. I updated my PE request:
http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/showthread.php?t=38577
to offer some of what is left (pretty much as much as you want) in exchange for hauling it. I did pay for it, but I have to get it out of his way before the end of next week and it was a very reasonable price (I felt like a bandit with just what I was able to haul) so I would be okay with someone getting the rest and making a site donation instead of delivering some to me if Raleigh/Cary (where I am) is too far but Wilson (where the wood is) is not.
I am terrible at estimation, but I will do it anyway and tell you what I am basing it on. I hauled about half of it in my Cube. With the seats down, it claims cargo space of 58 cu ft, but I have the cargo organizer that probably makes it only 50. I did not fill it to the roof, but I think I filled it over half way in height and put a few pieces in the front passenger seat. Even if only 20% of the cargo space is actually filled with wood, 10 cu ft = 120 board foot. Walnut and cherry (which is mostly what I got) weigh about 3 lbs a board foot and the back end is sitting noticeably low with the wood in it. Definitely more than 300 lbs. What I am getting at is I think there is over 100 board foot left there, but I repeat that I have a history of being bad at estimating (after all, I thought it would all fit in the Cube
:rolf: ).
Below is one of mshel's pictures. Upper left is mahogany, which I only took a little of. lower left is small mahogany pieces I took none of. Upper middle is cherry and walnut and I took quite a bit of that. Upper right is oak and I took almost none of that. Lower right is mostly walnut and I took quite a bit (most?) of it, but there are a few shorts (3' - 4') still there. If you looked at mshel's listing, the stuff on the table top in a different picture I took also. I took maybe half of what is in the picture. It's all good stuff; he saved all this for a reason.
