my wood , from the woodmiser bandsaw , is cheap compared to those prices
air dried fas oak goes for .8 to 1.00/bdft (12" x12"x1") red cedar is 1.00/bdft
and i'm selling some white oak right off the log to someone for fencing and barn wood for .60/bdft
but i , like many small mills, dont advertize much.
for me now, the mill is a second source of income, not the main
look around , kick the bushes, you can find someone local to you.
the forestry forums and woodmizer maintain a database of where sawyers are.
if you call them in the evenings, they will probally have time to talk.
i like to have people come get some of my wood, then see what they have built out of it, it adds satisfaction to the sawing process.
dont forget getting your own wood sawn into logs, i have people that bring me one log from thier parents place or something they helped someone by taking the stormdamaged tree away, i saw that at .28/bdft when i get the time.
you might have to wait awhile for the wood to dry, but the fact that you know where that wood in the project came from, is cool.
off soapbox
