Kev Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 @Spanky As I'm sure that there are others here that would like to get some lumber from you, I thought it might be helpful to get some basic numbers out in the open. It wouldn't be fair for me to disclose what I paid just in case you were giving me a "special" deal. And, if my "special" deal was more than what the others will pay then, consider this a get out of jail free card. ? So, if you could drop some basic pricing for the standard species you deal with that would be great. Also, if you can disclose what you've been seeing for cost on shipping, that will be helpful as well. Once you do that, I'll create a stand alone post and pin it to the top of this section and see if we can drum up a little business for you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanky Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Thanks @Kev I cut woodworker’s lumber for a very few guys now. You are one of them. If you ever get back down south, I may have some curly white oak lumber for you. I have cut 3 or 4 logs this week that was curly. I have all I can do cutting for a pallet shop and cutting cross tie’s. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause I’m one of many that put up with your bs and enjoy the heck out of your friendship. Besides, the wood ain’t half bad! I sure would like to have some of that mountain walnut! My supply is running short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some friends rate at a A+..............I just checked my list and you are on the A+ list too. You have some white walnut (butternut) coming to Houston someday, but it may be this winter. What are you wanting in black walnut 4/4 or 8/4? I don’t have anymore curly walnut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 A little of both would be nice. And thanks for the high rating! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanky Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Coop, you may want to get in on alittle of the curly white oak lumber. I don’t want you crying after it’s all gone. ? I have few boards in the kiln now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I’m not much of an oak guy. Although folks on here make some beautiful things from it. I’d rather hold out for some of that less expensive walnut. Or maybe good figured cherry or qtr sawn sycamore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanky Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Here’s the first of two loads the pallet shop wanting this week. If that Houston Boy would just come in and stack cant’s for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 That is a load of wood! What for pallets are they making with that thick of stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie, all pallet cant’s are cut 4” thick by 6” 7” 8” 9” 10” wide. They will cut the long cant’s to 24” 36” or 48” they will turn the wide side of the cant up and start running it threw a resaw. They will cut the three piece’s for the center of the pallet 1 1/2” by 4” they will run a few hundred of them. Then they start cutting 1/2” thick piece’s by 4” wide for the top and bottom of the pallet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like that if I was cutting alot of woodworker’s lumber. I cut very little high grade lumber anymore for woodworkers. But, I still have alittle curly hard maple lumber in 4/4 I still have alittle QSWO & Rift 8/4 like you got. I will have alittle 4/4 curly white oak. I will have butternut lumber, but that’s going to Houston and Delaware. Plus I hope to buy a high price walnut log or two this fall so I can get alittle of that Houston money. It take’s salt better than most! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 It would have sounded a lot better if you had said that you were going to make the Houston boy a heck of a deal on the walnut! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The section I'm talking about is more about what you have, when you have it, what the price is, and who wants it.. Totally understand this isn't your main business. Just a section to post cool stuff when you do have it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodenskye (Bryan) Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 If I had the money and a trailer, I would bring him some Jersey green paper, instead of a hat with a feather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
