Stickers

[Steve_M]

I need to cut about 500--.75x1.25x50" stickers for a guy to go along with an upcomming order.  I will be cutting them out of some low quality logs I own.  I plan to cut them ahead of the lumber order to give them a little time to dry.  

What is a fair price to charge for a sticker this size??

I'd also be interested in hearing an answer to this question.

Even though they are low grade logs, there is more work involved in small pieces like that. don't be afraid to charge $1.5/bf for the stickers, even more if you can get away with it.

I cut all my stickers 1x1x48.....I charge $1 ea. Even at that I make more money sawing lumber.

As a side bar to this post, I'm looking into buying fluted stickers (spiral cut) and selling these to customers and using them myself. They greatly reduce sticker shadow. I was talking with a guy that has been in the hardwood lumber buisness 20 years and he says fluted sticks are the best thing that has ever happened in the industry. I had seen them advertised but never gave 'em much thought until I talked with him. He deals in millions of bdft and says he'd use nothing but the fluted sticks.
