Went to a local hardwood supplier today here in west central Ohio. Very nice fancy facility. Still travel in the old style horse and buggy, but a very large diesel engine running a generator. Anyway needed oak or maple to make a bunk bed for the grandkids Christmas. Project calls for 58 bf. Priced rough cut. I really had to look out the window to make sure that I was not in NYC when he quoted me the lumber. $464.85 for oak and $654.80 for maple with a additional .30 bf to straight edge one side. I am still in sticker shock.
Any suggestions on other suppliers. Oh yes, he figured 90 bf because of waste, etc.
