Beech is sadly the lowest value of all hardwoods in the UK unless it's quite spectacularly spalted. You did incredibly well to get £150 a board for them green (4 cube a board). I'd personally be selling them off the saw for about £48 a board, kiln dried for no more than about £100.

 

As a point aside, for drying, you want to have at least twice as many stickers, with sticks right on the ends as well. I'd think about getting some weight on the stack as well as beech is prone to movement whilst drying.

Yes they're all spalted, it's like the flames have a black outline. I think they'll all look incredible when oiled! I haven't got a clue what they could be worth, the size is about six foot by two foot and two and a half inches thick?

 

I thought this was the milling thread, sorry to the op for putting them on here!
