I usually pay around £40 per cubic foot for it when i buy it. But I'd pay more if its also burry.

I bought some 2 inch boards (not square edge) last year that I finished drying and made into a table - paid £25 /cubic foot

for that price it would be kiln dried and reasonable quality.

 

i've seen some spectacular stuff go for £50-60.

 

any green wood should only be £15-20 in my opinion.

To give you an idea of the size and degree of spalting:

 

 

The rest of the bits got turned into bowls and odds and sods. The photo is the right way up on my computer so if anyone can tell me how to do the same here ....

I've just turned a massive tree with better spalting than that into firewood because folk wont pay for my time to board and dry it, its worth more as firewood
