That would not be a good day.
What did you do in your shop today?

Ha! I was actually planning to let you know that I will be passing through by you! This Monday, the 30th, I'll be running to Coon Valley, WI with my wife's van and a Uhaul trailer. Going after a good quantity of $2/BF Cherry and $1/BF Ash. I'm planning to arrive in Coon Valley about 1PM, or a bit after, and then will be headed back westward after however long it will take to load 400-ish BF of lumber. Let me know if/when/where you'll be around on Monday and so I can plan to stop by.
I'll be in Lacrosse until 3:30 that day. If you wanted to stop in Lacrosse after you load up or around then I might be able to arrange a tour of where I work.... We could catch a bite to eat somewhere if you were there when I got off work.
Are those prices for green lumber straight from the log or dried? Kiln dried cherry here is 3x those prices for 1c and select.
I would guess that I will probably be swinging back through Lacrosse pretty much about that time, so let's plan on that. I've got your number, so I can text you the day of and figure out where to meet.
Partially air dried, at this point. Which doesn't bother me - I'll sticker stack it in my shed. I won't be starting on the project that I'll be using the cherry for until next year, so it will have time to finish drying. And the ash I'm buying because I only have a couple boards of it, so why not pick up some more - I like how it looks (better than oak, for certain), so it can dry and I can start maybe using some of it next year. Kiln dried cherry has been at least 3 times, or more, the price around here - at least the prices I've seen.
I'm doing a bedroom set build for my wife (king size bed frame, two dressers, two nightstands) out of cherry. It had been slated to be soft maple and curly cherry, both of which I have on hand, but I got a change order on the build. So now I need a bunch of cherry and $2/BF is hard to pass up. By the time I factor in cost of trailer rental and gas, I'll still be in under $3/BF.
No doubt that’s a good deal. Have a safe trip. 400 f is a decent size load. I bought some English brown ash last month for some home decor items.

Sharpened my woodturning tools & headed 38 miles north to my buddy's shop to turn 8 columns for a bar in the owner of Dick's Sporting Goods home! Done free hand.

Made a new shift know for a friends 2005 Jaguar wagon. Finish on original Maple knob was cracked & popping off so I sanded it down & refinished it. New shift knob is Amboyna burl. He said when he sells the car he's keeping the new knob I made.
They're done wrong! They don't have the bend in them that shows on the drawing!
