Curly and Birdseye

True North · March 22, 2010, 04:58:31 PM

I sawed some curly maple and birdseye maple along with a cherry log. I have someone who wants to buy the lumber (it is 4/4). What would be a fair price?

Sold some spalted soft Maple this weekend. the first two logs I sawed with my new LT40HD. Random width 1 inch boards. Beautiful stuff! Sawed as a demo at the Highland County VA Maple Festival as an exhibit. Guys were buying it off the saw for about 75 cents a Bdft. My first sales! and lots of sawing jobs leads.... ;)

Would the curly in hard maple be in the same price range as soft maple?

You should be able to get more if it is hard Maple, I pay $2.60 bf for KD 15/16 straight lined delivered to my door.

Hi Pasbuild,

Thanks for the info. So you live in Marquette. My wife and I said that if we moved somewhere else we would love to live there. We go to visit about once per year... great town. Are you a sawyer?
