OK - I have a friend who has a door shop - and some how they ordered a load of 4/4 beech that, after delivery to their shop and payment, the customer changed his mind and went ahead and paid for a different wood. So they have quite a few stacks of this beech - he tells me about it, and for $50 a pickup truck load, we can have what we want. So I called a friend of mine who has a 3/4 ton HD truck and we load that puppy up until the tires started to bulge. We drove away with the truck pretty full. My cut (half) was about 550 bd ft for $25. Probably a third of the boards range from 12"-18" in width, and all 8'. I figured I am pretty close to .046 cents a bd ft. and I have the pics to prove it below. Here comes a new workbench for sure, this spring.
