Looking for ~50 BF of clear dark Walnut - Matt Williams - 09-10-2018
My mom just asked for a new tabletop and would like it out of walnut. I'm on the wrong coast and it is hideously expensive in the Seattle area. Like $8 to $10 BF. I work for a huge company that has great shipping rates and was hoping someone had some clear dark walnut much more affordably. I'd buy up to ~100 BF or more and resell it if it was the right price.
I haven't spent a lot of time scouring the internet, I'd prefer to work with a Woodnetter if possible.
Thanks!
Matt

FWIW I’m in Alabama and walnut is that much here too.

Same here in Michigan.

Walnut prices are thru the roof because of Thousand canker disease, among other factors.
It runs $12.50 / bd. ft. & up for #1 grade in my area.

Wow, I've been gone from woodworking for a while, I remember that the right coast was much more affordable but maybe she needs a veneer top!

I have some rough cut dark walnut lumber in the shop but I don't know how much but happy to pull it and check. I'm in PA and don't have a clue about shipping. With that said, there are a lot of mills around here that ship and sell Walnut for around $5 bdft, less if you purchase quantity. They may ship or if you have a shipping company that can pick it up and get it to you, that would be great. Here are a few CL ads of lumber mills in my area. I also added Bingaman Lumber as I know they ship world wide. I used to work there and left a few years ago. Got all my hardwood at $0.59/bf. I got in real good with the tallyman and sometimes he wouldn't tally all the lumber I pulled. We shipped lumber to China several times a week. For some reason, they really had a liking for white oak. Anyway, I know they ship, your carrier or theirs. But if you get desperate, check out the links below.

I paid $14/bf for the last slab I worked on. Highly figured $18.

What thickness are you seeking? I specialize in walnut and curly maple. Can probably help.
Thx

I am about 10 miles from that last one . I should hop down and grab it . I prefer air dried .
