Cherry Price

It would be a great price in Alberta Canada.

The supplier I buy from charges close to $8.00 bf for 8/4, so that would be over $800.00 right there. And this material is not quartersawn.

In a word, “Yes”. You will be averaging $5.16/bf and most of it is 8/4 and, apparently, all of it is quarter sawn.

I assume that this is good quality lumber with a minimum number of knots and imperfections.

The price is great and quarter sawn to boot. The only thing to check would be the percent of dark to light wood on the pieces to eliminate a lot of waste for grain matching.

My supplier charges 2.78 for common 4.50 for select 7.25 for what he calls red cherry.
None of it is quartersawn. Sounds like a square deal to me.

don’t be surprised if 75% if it is rift cut. Just can’t get all QS.

If it is FAS quartersawn and DRY then yes it is worth the price. If it is green absolutely no.

I charge between 4.50 and 6.00/ bf for 8/4 kiln dried FAS cherry and between 3.5- 4.5 for kiln dried 4/4 and 5/4 FAS.

If it has figure it would definitely be worth it.

Ask around and see if anyone has anyone has any wood they’d be willing to give you too. My best friend had a garage attic full of quality cherry that he had no idea about that he gave me for free.

If it is dry and of reasonable quality (few knots, splits, and little sap wood), it is an excellent price.

I can get it from my guy for $3.00 bf and can pick my own boards.
Granted it is rough stock but still… you are buying what amounts to 105 bf of 4/4 Cherry and paying $7.62 a bf for it. I don’t know where you are located and I understand it is higher in some areas but I wouldn’t pay that price unless I could charge at least 1 1/2 times that for it, not including all the other material and labor.
