White cedar prices

[Kodiakmac]

Local lad with a mill is paying me $450 per 1000 bf for sound white cedar that is at least 9.5 inches s.e.d.  No trucking expenses - he picks it up on my landing.

Just wondering.  How does that compare with prices in New England, Quebec, and the Maritimes?

Considering I don't know of any mills around here in the north east buying cedar I'd say that's not too bad!

I buy cedar posts woods run 100" 4" to 7" tops delivered to the vineyard in at least 10 cord loads for 135.00 per cord.  The last couple loads originated around Detour.

Are these prices that individual specialty shops are buying the raw timber for? Wow!

Holy Mackerel.  Judging by the info from you lads, I guess I'm doing okay indeed!

Merci la, walterkilo

I find northern white cedar undervalued, your doing very good for those prices. The most I've seen it for is about $180 a cord for 10" min top. There are lots of cedar mills around this region. Considering white cedar grows to about 36" dbh in this region and grows very slow.
