Cost of wood varies a lot depending on what part of the country you are talking about. VERY rough ballpark, here on east coast, between 3 and 5 buck a ft, but thats kiln dried. Also, thats graded lumber, which means much of the lumber less than around 8ft in length will not be worth as much due to the dimensions alone. Now if you're talking about figured pieces, like from a crotch, then all bets are off, and the price really can get crazy, depending on how large, how well defined the figure is etc etc. Also, SOME woodworkers and professional shops won't take lumber that has not been professionally kiln dried because of the possibility of internal stresses in the boards due to improper drying. Obviously, lots of variables when you ask how much lumber is worth.
