Advice sought on pricing boards

[timjmac]

Been in the firewood business for ten years now,and enjoy the benefits of a simple and transparent pricing structure( it keeps neighbours happy if they compare what they have paid for their logs)

Always have a few milled boards available, however need some advice on how to price them.

Many thanks,

Timjmac.

Measure the volume in cubic feet (length x thickness x width at narrowest point).

 

Price per cubic foot will depend on species, grain/colour, presence/absence of defects and whether green, air-dried or kiln dried. It will also depend on whether you want a quick sale or are prepared to wait, and whether it is single boards or a batch.

 

It's not that complicated, but the above factors do make for quite a wide price range.

Thanks Alec,

I see I'm going to have to find my measuring tape and calculator.

just be aware tim, that our location wont support the prices that folk can charge down south, the closer to london, the higher the value of good quality boards

Good point, I have noticed some amazing prices compared to what I can charge , it's a similar story with firewood.
