I noticed an ad on my local Craigslist tonight that someone has listed "black cherry hardwood" in 8-11" widths rough cut to 1 1/4" thick. He says the lumber has very little if any sapwood. What is the current going price for cherry? His ad said $2.00 but he is also trying to sell 300 bf of it. I have sent an e-mail asking if he would sell off just a few boards but have not heard back yet.
Ok just heard back from the guy. He said the boards are mostly about 10' long. He said that each board has just under 10 bf per board so each board would be $18-20 each. He also said they were freshly cut. How much will it shrink and how long will it have to sit before I could use it?
He sent me a photo of it.
Is this a good buy?
