I acquired a room's worth of Wormy Chestnut boards awhile ago. I have used it for various projects, but nothing I seem to be making these days calls for it. So, I'm trying to value it and send it on its way.
It is a variety of boards. All 3/4" (actual) boards range from 2.3" - 6" in width (mostly) and 2' to 6' in length. It is a real mix. I have pulled all the nails and most of the boards have one true edge ripped with a sled.
There are also 6-8 6'+ sticks of 3.5" molding that would be great for picture frames , small boxes or furniture molding.
My two main reasons for moving it on is that there is a lot of prep work in making wider boards and many of the boards need a lot of trimming to get a useable board (the original owner RIPPED them out). It is just a bit more work than I want to tackle on most days. It is gorgeous looking wood and would be good for frame and panel work.
So, how would I go about pricing up and selling the wood? Would advertise here and on CL. I've seen prices for $250 a square foot to +$8.00 a bd ft.
It would be good if I could sell it in one lot. I really don't want to part it out a few pieces at a time, so minimal would be to make up some sort of bundles.
Any and all thoughts, suggestions and input are appreciated.
And since everyone likes photos.
