Re: Inexpensive Hickory/Wht Oak Bed Wood
I spoke with them as they are only a couple of hours from me and between my buddies and I we go through about 1000+ board feet of lumber a year on our projects we build... so this would offer us a big savings... they are looking to expand and are demolishing the building they are currently in which is why there is a sale... the lumber is NOT graded and is not all selects and better.... you would need to sort the lumber and grade it yourself! however you can pick through the lumber and it does not change the price... the lumber is only sorted by species and not by cut either so quarter sawed is mixed with rift sawed and flat sawed. It is kind of kiln dried as they put it in a shop with blow though and in-floor heat and bring the temp up to just over 100*F and it is brought down to cabinet grade moisture of 8-10% but not a true propane fired kiln. All the species they offer are native to Iowa and the midwest and are cut locally. By the sounds of it they mill the lumber themselves.
