Anyone have a clue as to what old growth redwood is worth? It's all clear, full 1"x12's, 8's, 3x6's, 3x8's, all over 20 feet long.

Someone on craigs list was selling old olive tanks. That wood was old growth with no nails or any other holes.

No idea, can't buy it here anymore. Nobody has carried it in years.

I depends on where in the world you live. Probably much cheaper in the USA then other countries due to shipping costs.

Here is a link to Mendocino Craigslist where someone is selling somewhat similar material: 'https://mendocino.craigslist.org/mat/6175345187.html' Hope it helps.

I bought some in 1977 from the company where I was employed. It had been there so long it was black from coal soot. You might find it in an old catalog and estimate a current price by comparing to other listed and commonly used woods. All of these expensive things end up as interior work with the buyer wanting a discount "cuz I'm gonna use it inside ".
I am in the Midwest, where it never shows up.
Wow, thats a nice haul. I would think you'd do best shopping it around to timber framers.
Bumbling forward into the unknown.
If you are talking about that load up by me its a steal. But he won't break it up and I did not have $15K, so someone else got it. Was about 1.50 a BF.
I picked up about 4k bf. Full 1" by 12, 10, 8s. 3×6, 2"×12, all over 20 feet.
I bought some old growth redwood a couple of years ago that was used for the outside vats in the Vlasic pickle factory in Michigan. Same relative sizes. I'm planning to use it for my wine cellar racks. PM me it if you want to sell your redwood. I have more wine that redwood, so far.
James, don't forget to ask for the "I'm gonna use it inside" discount!!
