Hi DEba, i occasionally make thicker waney boards using those cross cut to 6ft and 18mm thick ex 1". They cost £1.20 each. ( may have gone up slightly by now) Hope this helps, Cheers Tony

i should add the width ranges from 6" wide to 8" wide, so your boards are approx one and a half to twice that. Cheers

I did try to post a couple of times last night but comp crashed twice....

 

 

Best thing when selling wood is work out the cubic footage. Measure the width x thickness x length all in " .............. now divide that by 1728" (this figure should quickly be engrained into your head!) - and this gives you how many cubic foot you have.

 

 

So with boards like the above 1728/12" means that to get a cubic foot needs to be 144" long or 12ft long.

 

 

Green oak is around £20 a cube but I'd charge £25 a cube for 1". So every ft is £2-00. That's just an idea to keep your prices consistent of course you charge what you need to charge.

 

It's hard to make much out of 1" with a chainsaw mill.... a lot more work and waste for less money really.
