It goes for 50 cents a board foot. Sometimes they give it away free. I will give you 0.75/bft for the lot.

Okay, seriously- the really quality stuff goes for $8.00/bft but you can shop around small lumber companies and get it for much less. It sounds like you have good stuff there. How many growth rings per inch? 20 or more would be really good old growth stuff. 15-20 still good. 10-15 not too bad and less is the lower priced stuff.

It would be a wonderful wood for a SOF and for a stripper as well. It has a more pinkish color but varies just like WRC does with yellow and brown hues.
