Looking for cheap BASSWOOD?

[bcarvings]

Hi,
I recently obtained large amount of basswood. The basswood is air dried 1 year per thickness then kiln dried to a moisture content between 6-8%. All the basswood is perfectly clear, and there are NO knots, and NO defects of any kind! Bellow is how much the basswood costs. The measurements are in inches.
1x1x12= .50
2x2x12= $2
2x3x12= $2.50
4x4x12= $8
4x6x12= $12
Also I have a few two foot basswood blocks.
4x4x24= $16
4x6x24= $24
There is no minnimun order and to save on shipping you may come pick the wood up. E-mail me at [email protected] if you would liek tp purchase wood. Thank you

If I did my math correctly, that's roughly $6/bd ft. (on the pieces I checked). As I recall, I've been paying between $4 and $4.50/bd ft. (can't find my notebook amidst all the junk on my desk) from my regular suppliers.

It may or may not be cheap basswood but it sure is not a free advertising site.

Re: Looking for cheap BASSWOOD?

When buying wood, it is very important to consider Quality, Price, Availability, Services provided and Shipping costs.

That makes a much more complex formula than price per board foot.
