Can you please list your asking prices for the boards shown. I’m pretty sure the rules ask all offers for wood to include the price.

It’s a matter of transparency and helps other buyers and sellers who want to buy and sell wood on this site, so it can be appropriately priced based on past sales.

I noticed there are a couple of “asks” for a PM message on this thread which doesn’t really help “the rest of us”.

If I’m wrong, maybe one of the moderators will set me straight. Thanks!

Thanks - if I figured it correctly comes out to about $10/bf, which includes shipping. Shipping probably around $20 - $25 because these are all lightweight species.

Carving wood is always more expensive. It needs to be thicker and knot free. 20-25 a board foot is a good price for carving blanks. Overpriced if it were only basswood but butternut of that size and quality really ain’t cheap.
