What grade of red oak are ya talking about? Curious here because I bought
rough-sawn for $.75/bf, but that had a lot of small knots and wormholes (I
think - small holes about 2mm diameter). I'd guess about 1/3 of it is clear
wood that I'd use on exposed surfaces.

Keith -
This stuff is F&S (?- Firsts & Seconds)no knot holes, no splits on the
ends. It's good clear lumber, but rough sawn. He also has some
lesser grades, but charges less for them.

Hi Tom,
If you're near Windsor, CT and can use oak "shorts" ping me off line.

Al,
In the Erie PA area I just bought rough sawn red oak for $1.70 a board foot.
In my case, I only purchased less than 20 board feet.

It depends on the grade...
FAS is running about that price
#1 common is .50 less
#2 common is 1.00 less
If it's air dried or green cut, probably about .75 - 1.00 a BF.
Some small saw mills also don't do much in the way of grading
their lumber, so what you get might not be worth any of the
above prices.
If you bought 100bf that causes another price shift..(down)
If you bought less than 100bf that causes a upward price shift.
It also depends on "where" in the world you are.
So to answer your question, "it depends".

Depending onthe species you may be able to use wedges to quarter
the logs, then drawknife off the raggedly parts to get something
that can fit on a bandsaw depending on just how big the logs
and the bandsaw are.
ALso depends on if you have a bandsaw and can find a drawknife.
BTW, about a year ago I was at a lumber yard and one of the guys
there was cutting (I forget what they're called but they looked
like shelf brackets on steroids) out of 4" thick stock using a
hand held bandsaw. This had a table on it like a stationary band
saw but was used 'upside down' with the table resting on the
board rather than vice-versa. My first thought was Yegads what
a dangerous tool. I could imagine accidently dropping it
and cutting my foot off at the ankle.
My second thought was to wonder how big these guys get and if
one could be adapted for a home-built bandsaw mill. I've used
a chainsaw mill and even with a ripping blade they cut pretty
slow. A bansaw blade takes a much narrower kerf and so should
cut faster.
Any thoughts? This was a bandsaw, not a reciprocating saw.

I keep meaning to check them out somethime but never have.
Hartville, Ohio, is close enough to the Ohio turnpike to have
a sign for Hartville at the appropriate exit which is somewhere
a bit east of Warren.

My bad, they are actually southeast of Akron according to MapQuest.

Hartville Hardware in Ohio is having their tool sale this week and they have
oak in 100bf bundles for $ 2.19/bf. I have 200 BF @ @1.89/bf but I had to
drive 2 hours.

For that price it may be worth the drive from just south of the 'Burgh. Do you have a name and address for that supplier?
