Sold some Cedar today

[ozarkgem]

I am not really in the sawmill business I mostly saw for myself. I think I may be a lumber hoarder. I have stacks of lumber all over the place. Hackberry,Pine, Red Oak, Post Oak, Walnut, Sycamore, Mulberry and of course Cedar. A lady stopped by and wanted 400 BF of rough sawn Cedar to panel a room. I shot her a price and she took it. She wanted the rough sawn look so I told her I would plane one side to make it all 3/4 thick. $1.25 a bf. Beer money.

That will work,  but it almost sounds like it's time for an Ozark pig roast for some kind of celebration?
That's a good haul, no need to hoard any more ;D

Yep I think I will take a year off work and get me a new truck with a sale like that.

I usually sell cedar for $1 a bf and surfacing one side would definately add some to the cost so we are pretty close on price. I hope you have a good planer. If not, it wont seem like it was worth the extra $100 you got for planing.

Running it through the Power Matic took about 15 sec per board. I could speed it up but I can't run around the machine any faster. By the time I start one and and follow it up with another one the first one is ready for the trailer then I have to hump it back to the stack and start another  one then back to the trailer side again. I need a helper.

Does yours look like this one?
