What are exceptible prices for blocking

[Kansas]

I need to move.
The best price I seem to be able to find for blocking, other than ties, is $.28/bdft. I give $.25 for logs so it wont work.
The better markets are out there,I just cant seem to get an in. A friend of mine supplies a couple hundred 3x4-10' a month at about $4.50 each.

Paul, just set the price where you make good money. They can take it or leave it. Sounds like you are plenty busy anyway. You don't walk into a Lowes and tell them what you are going to give for lumber. Don't let lumber brokers or buyers run over you. It can happen darned easy. Too many mills just assume when someone calls and says they can give a certain price for something, that is what you have to accept. Nada.

paul case, I base my price for logs at market value 16' butt poplar logs are going for 0.65 cents a bf. the sawing is by the hour. you did well on the deal .Kansas,I am not competing with other sawmills,this is custom and custom sells. Tim

Come to Ore box stores sell lumber fer .35 per board fr or 350.00 per thousand Now I get 550.00 per thousand in round form on log truck ??? ???

Captain, isn't your box store board foot smaller than our hardwood board foot?

T Welch, absolutely correct. Its very difficult for the small guys to compete against the big guys, except with service and quality. You cannot, nor should you try, to compete against the big guys with price.
