Daughter needs a dining room suite for their new house so I jumped into the fray (I may regret it).
Went to a sawyer that I've used before and got a little under 300 bdft of red oak for $200. Most of it is 8/4 for legs and chair pieces, along with some 16/4 for table legs, and 8/4 for a table top 1 3/4" thick, 7 ft long and 40" wide. Came in the shop ranging between 18 and 22% moisture so it'll be a while before I get started.
The fun part of the trip was when I started up the hill from the guy's place and the entire load came out (my bed liner is a bit slick). Luckily Ken Massingale was with me and had his truck with Rhino liner so we loaded into his for the trip home.
The guy must have been nuts cause he let Massingale drive the Mizer. I stood well back.
