I know this is a repeating theme that keeps appearing from time to time. But I have never been able to compare wood prices in Spain vs US.
I just happen to have bought some wood for the cabinet I am going to make and here are some wood prices. Note: wood in Spain is measured by the cubic meter (m3).
To make it easier to compare I have converted the prices to boardfoot.
1 m3 = 424 bf (423.77) I have rounded it up
1€ = 1.226$
1m3 Hard Maple 2268€ so 2268 / 424 = 5.35€ bf = 6.55$ + VAT(21%) 7.92$
1m3 European Oak 4600€ so 4600 / 424 = 10.85€ bf = 13.30$ + VAT(21%) 16.09$
1m3 US White Oak 2867€ so 2867 / 424 = 6.76€ bf = 8.28$ + VAT(21%) 10.01$
(I hope not to have made any mistake on the calculations).
To our living cost standards those are expensive prices, how do they compare to yours?
