Someone locally is moving from the Bay Area to Alabama. This is the CL ad:
I saw the ad about 12 hours after it was posted and learned that someone else was interested. Left contact details. Got a note back last night that the other party was a no-show.
When I got there two hours ago, the pile of long boards was 12 feet long, 3 1/2 feet wide and about 10 inches high. There were also some shorter board between 2 and 4 feet in length and about 1 1/2 to inches thick that I took home. It works out to somewhere around 350 board feet if my math is right. Some of the boards do indeed have bad checks in them, but for 33 cents a board foot, I still come out way ahead. The wood is probably worth close to $2k at retail out here! Looks like mostly walnut with some cherry.
Of course, now the pressure is on to make something nice enough to display for this august group.
