I have 16 1x6 x5/4 x8'6" Black Ash that I would like to sell what would be a fair price its not dry but has been in my barn for 2 months what would be a fair price? randy this is in Wis.
I am not trying to sell on this form just looking for a ball park price so neither my self or the buyer will be cheated on the price I ask thank you. Randy
It's kind of whatever it's worth to you and a buyer, as it's too small of a quantity to really compare to anything. FAS Green oak and ash were at .90 a board foot delivered to the hardwood buyer the last time I checked, but that's been a while. I guess between .75 and $1.00 a board foot? If you can get more, by all means do so.
Questions:
1. How many different varieties of ash grow on or in the north american continent?
2. Does the emerald ash borer feast on only one type of ash or is it non discriminatory pest?

Google rough cut and hardwood lumber. Many of the sites of the big dealers have price lists. They are narrow boards, not kiln dried. Advertise them on FB marketplace for two dollars a board foot and see if you get any offers. A deal is always fair if both guys are satisfied with it.
