I keep trying to fight the high price of lumber by watching for hot deals. I spent this morning planing 50 bd ft of rough sawn Red Oak I bought about 2 months ago for $1 a board foot. As long as I manage to find deals like that, the price isn't bad yet.
The wood looked pretty bad rough sawn and a bit weathered, but it looks like premium lumber now that I have it planed and cleaned up.

I think you're on the right track there, HobbyMan. But why stop at Walnut? Ebony is has a much higher market value. And best of all, we can call them "Ebonezers"! :cool:

Aren't bitcoins made out of thin air? That might be more valuable than wood if you live in an area where the air is polluted.
