WoodNet Forums: Pigsicle III-Rounding the Far Turn for Kolleen's Kollege Fund--Wood!!

Wood for all and a chance to make each board foot and each project mean a lot more than usual. I'm donating part of the proceeds for every foot to the Fund. Even if you don't need wood, any donations are appreciated. The outpouring of generosity has been stunning so far.

Trip is March 16-19.

I'll be hauling a planer from Valdosta to be-Hinesville, GA, so if you have a delivery request, let me know early to reserve room.

Species and prices below, with some new additions.

I am asking 25% up front to discourage the folks who change their mind in mid-trip and don't take the wood they ordered--that just keeps me from loading some up for someone else, and is unfair to all.

Not sure yet, but I'll probably have to close it out sometime around the 1500 board foot level, maybe 2000, so do it early.

Also, remember that this is a sellout. The owner has collected this wood over a lifetime, is moving to another state to retire and wants it all gone, so when it is gone, that's all. Good news is that there is about 50-60,000 feet laying about.

400 feet very nice 4/4 cherry, 4-6" wide, dry five years: 3.50 bdft , 8 and 10 feet long.

4000 feet Primo ribbon cherry, 5/4, random W&L, dry: 5.00 bdft.

1000 feet Century old barn boards, heart pine/cypress/etc., wide, 20' L, 1.50 bdft good, .90 so-so. These boards are wide and straight and thick and almost 100% old heartwood.
