Old Growth / Reclaimed wood

Ok, who's the wood expert here? I've got 50-60 sticks of 67 year old knotty pine tongue and groove panels I'd like to sell. They're 91 1\2" long and 7 1/2" wide. Planed smooth on one side, pickwick styled on the other. Several of the tongues and grooves have some splits where they were taken down. They came out of my house, ive got a few I'm keeping for a project. Where should I sell these? Craigslist and motorcycle forums are about the only place ive sold things. Wheres the wera old wood forum classifieds...? Are they worth $100 or $2,500? I checked ebay and a guy had a nearly identical bundal to mine and it was listed for $3,500! Listing is gone, maybe it sold? Defer to Wera board wisdom once again.

 

How thick>?

Wood is CRAZY....I just paid $1100 for about 950BF of RedOak rough sawn (band sawn) Air Dried almost a year...10"-17", wide 13'-14' long, 1" thick...it will be the flooring in a couple rooms in my house..once planed and sawn. (Craigslist buy)

Old, Clean, Dry, is all good and drives up the price.

Go to hipster bar
Have fair trade organic beer that makes your urine bio-degradable with said hipsters
Sell them wood for ridiculous price to renovate their mom's basement

That’s actually a pretty decent deal Britt. Now get out the blacksmith tools to get real rustic

 

There has to be at least one woodworkers BBS some place. I always thought pine was next to worthless until I visited a local law office and they had redone their entire building's floors with reclaimed VA pine and the managing partner said it cost more than his BMW to do. Smelled awesome, I get a semi over thinking about it.

 

Thanks Britt!

I cant get a damn picture to post. Damn you photobucket. And big pictures.

 

There are quite a few places that sell that stuff. Call them and ask what it's worth.
Google reclaimed lumber sales.

 

There is a guy on Ocala CL with close to what you have.. he is low in my estimate @ $150 (giving it away)...

Around here just off my math you are pretty easy $750-1000+ based on size and age. You have to find the guy who wants it for a project, job.. I would toss it on CL for $1500 and deal from there .. sell it as a whole.

 

what does this stuff look like?

 

Cha Ching! I've got 4000 bd ft of rough cut red oak and about 800 bd ft of cherry. I cut it in '93 and it's been stickered and stacked in my barn since then. Most is 2X6, some 2x8 and lengths from 10 to 20 feet. The oak is HARD, won't take a nail unless you pre-drill it. Problem is it's common stuff around here and there's almost no market....

 

List it where it isn't as common and offer to deliver it... or you can bring it and stack it in my ChickenHouse and I will pay you 1/4 of what it's worth and buy you a six pac of IPA's...

 

so is wood the new Bitcoin?

 

Sure, you can "buy" whistle pig with it.

 

Check the price of Ebony wood...

 

Man, I have a lot of oak I could get sawn up... hmm

 

don't think that's allowed on the beeb
