Been dragging a few cypress logs from the river and I'm really not sure what to charge after milling into boards. I've heard $1.40 per BF. I've heard 0.85 cents per BF. I called a local wood retailer who sales many different spicies and I was told they sell cypress @ $3.25 per BF. That price was a rough cut piece. Their 1x12x8 was $26.00. A 2x12x8 was $37.28 (roughly $4.60 per BF?) All rough cut. I need to know what I need to be selling this at, and a "resonable" price as well. I'm new to the "Sawyer" world and just bought a Lumbermate 2000. Any advice on the going price of cypress would be appreciated. Cedar too for that matter. Or maybe someone can point me to a web link or web site that keeps up with the "current" prices of lumber? I do understand that location has something to do with price. I am in south Louisiana next to the Texas border.
Thanks in advance,
Duane
