I have Walnut, White Oak, Brazilian Cherry (Jatoba), and Cherry, For Sale

For whatever reason the two shelve loads of the two foot pieces came out sideways, but you get the message. What I would do with those is plane and joint them, then rip them into about 1 1/4 inch strips. Then glue them up and make cutting board blanks that by the time I planed and sanded them were 1 inch thick. Then I would cut them into various shapes with my CNC and sell them for about $75 each. There’s probably enough wood there for at least 100 cutting boards? $7500 worth! I’d sell both shelve loads for $500.

What are you asking for the lot?

I can’t send a pm because I just joined and don’t have any posts! I suppose this the first one

Anyway let me know. I’m not too far away in Los Altos

Thanks,

Dennis

Also interested, what are you asking for all? I would be driving from Reno NV

Thanks for the interest, I just went over and measured it all so let me figure out the board feet and then I’ll check on retail prices and figure out how much I want for it all. It will be way less than retail, but I kind of want to know the retail price before I commit.

I’ll go in order of who responded here as for who gets first crack at it. Greg D is first on the list and he also sent a PM. So he’ll get first right of refusal. I have a few other things I have to get done this afternoon, but I’ll get back on this within a few hours.

Okay here’s the deal, the measurements are just estimates but they should be pretty close. On the stacked lumber it appears I have about 224 BF of Walnut, 108 BF of Cherry, 144 BF of Jatoba, and 80 BF of White Oak. MacBeath hardwoods has retail online prices at $11 a BF for walnut, $7.80 for cherry, $9.40 for Jatoba, and $5.25 for white oak. So McBeath retail would be $2,464 for the walnut, $842 for the Cherry, $1,353 for the Jatoba, and $420 for the white oak. So that’s a grand total of $5080.00 retail value and I’ve bought wood from MacBeath before and this wood is consistent with what they sell.

So given the over $5000 retail price, I’ll sell all four stacks of the lumber for $2,000 and then all the 2’ thin cut pieces for $500. The 2’ pieces are not included in the above BF numbers. So $2500 takes all, or I’ll do two transactions if somebody doesn’t want both.

On edit: Even better yet, $2250 takes all, or $2,000 for the long pieces and $500 for the 2’ cut pieces if done in different transactions.

The wood has been sold. Thanks all.
