28bf at circa USD4-USD5/bf on average. Assuming 5 and 30 gets
you $150 worth of walnut. Now, there may be a premium associated
with 14/4 stock, so call it $200. Another premium associated with
12" wide stock, so make it $225 (generally those who desire the
thick stock are seldom concerned with width and those who desire wide
stock generally don't need that much thickness).

Where might you be located?

Similar, if not slightly higher, pricing in central Kansas. About $1 BF
less in Southern Missouri/Norther Arkansas area.
