Oak Score!

[Mike Metz]

Just picked up a little under 600bf of 4/4 White oak for just a bit over $600. Some boards are over 16" wide most are 8" - 13"
Good Score?

You could sell 1/3 of that and make back your outlay, nice haul.

Do not use remaining fingers as push sticks.

You wouldn't want that stuff, Dave - it's "California Oak" a hybrid of Redwood and Cannabis.

Notice that the front wheels of his vehicle are still on the ground. Light weight, and bug infested no doubt.
He should glue it up for silhouettes...I think a line of yard art signs including "Beware of Hamster" is in the offing.

This is less than I paid for a lift of "get it outta heya" oddballs at Downes and Reader clearance last year.

600 bd ft of WO for $600.00 would definitely be a killer deal.

What I don't understand though... is how the pickup is sitting. 600 bd ft of WO weighs around 2,400.00 lbs. Considering how much is hanging out the back of the truck, your back tires should be bulging big time and the front end should be pretty light.

That was my thought as well. But enlarging the photos, counting the boards and their average width, it comes pretty darn close to 600 bd ft. Nice score.

Well ya see real dried lumber is not near as heavy as the box stores dried lumber! Russ

[Lori Kleinberg]
