My apologies guys I realise that I didn't put my measurements up correctly.

What I did mean to say is:

The planks are 17 inches wide and range from 3 to 5 feet long and are 2 inches thick, and there are 5 in total.

Where can I find a current valuation of woods?

 

Also, if the longer the plank commands a higher price, will the same lengthxwidth board be more valuable if thicker cut?

Posted

Thickness in general will only affect the price pro rata. 2" worth twice as much a 1". But takes twice as long to dry so you will have to store for longer before reaching a good price.

Big j will be able to give you the best idea of values of different woods but unless you take the time and expense to set up a business like big j, you will struggle to easily sell timber for the same value as him.

Yes northcountryboy, you're right. That's around 0.8cuft of timber - around £84 per cube. Must've had some killer grain and a gold bar hidden in the middle...

 

 

...well done Alec
