Mlyle, can't help you with aquirring any, but White oak is better than Red Oak. There is a lot less tear out with it. .......... Jerry (in Tucson)

 

[Mlyle]

Thanks @Nubsnstubs yeah Red oak is softer. but is real pretty....

@Leroy Blue yeah 12/4 will do.....lets see what you got please!!!

Red Oak - first 6 are slabs I can cut you figured blocks or sale the hole slab.
The last 2 are rough pictures of the Scarlet Oak

 

[Mlyle]

How much for 1 board ft of the red oak?

 

[Mlyle]

I am not interested in the scarlet oak!

 

[Leroy Blue]

-1 BF of The pictured quarter sawn, figured, and dry $10+ shipping
-5 to 10 Bf $8.50

You and I both can go to our local hardware store an buy a BF for around $4 bucks or less but it doesn’t look like this.

 

[Mlyle]
