    Now being serious.
    $1.66 a bd/ft for anything in CT would be a steal,and I'd be buying all that I could fit in my truck.

    The average here in central Wisconsin is $3.25/bf for 4/4 rough red oak. I found a nice little honey hole about 60 miles away that I get it for $2.55. They take it from raw and dry it themselves. Very nice people and you can pick and choose each and every board. Also every type of wood there as well, along with a stellar selection of ply.
    What you don't do with your head you'll have to make up for with your feet.

    Varies as shipments come in 2-3 times a week.. but average at my supplier in the Atlanta area is around $1.90 a bd. ft for 4/4 kiln dryed S3S. They have 15/16 also and charge the same as the 4/4. They carry 5/4.. 6/4.. 8/4 and if you want 10/4 or 12/4 you can have it in rough/

    6-8 months ago... it averaged around $1.60 to $1.70 a board foot. Transportation has gone up with the price of gas.
