I have 5 ash slabs, paid $50 a piece. They are kiln dried, 5'x24"x4"
I ordered the rest of the guys remaining slabs at the same size, 6 more at $50 a piece.
So my question is should I resaw these 6 down to 2" and have 12 table tops to sell, or should I stick with 4"? Not sure if customers will really jump all over a 4" thick table moreso than a 2" of the same type.
The local hardwood store near me sells 1" ask slabs at $800 a piece. Not sure how he gets people to pay that, but If I was planning on selling one table 4" thick at $1000, compared to this companies price, I should be able to sell 2" thick for $1000. This is price of lumber, not including any labor or other wood or parts added.
