Potential Raleigh Oak Lumber Run.

Either one works for me as well, but I'll vote for Scott's. That way I can see how far he's progressed on his recovery from the fire.
My order is also re-confirmed, and I will probably stick around and pick through any left-overs also. :icon_thum

I am flexible.
And I reconfirm as well.

Scott's place if fine for me. I'd like to see his operation anyways so I can kill two birds with one stone.
Question. How does this process work? Do I select the 50 BF of QSRO with your help and we agree on the price? Then do I pay with cash or a check?
How's your 3 acre project going? Best regards.

Jeff,
Thus far, the load is really looking good. I have observed very minimal degrade (only a couple of boards with end checks). Your attention to detail in applying end sealer asap after logging really pays off during the drying process.
We’ve still got a couple of weeks to go, but it looks like the load should be ready for pickup by the weekend of October 18th. It’s too early to commit, but we can establish that as the “tentative” pickup date.

Lumber pickup dates and time
***KILN STATUS UPDATE***
As of this morning the entire load us under 20% MC, down from 50% and on it's way to <10%. I have intentionally maintained a conservative pace in drying the wood, but this pays off in terms of minimal degrade and the highest lumber quality possible. From what I can see we will have an extremely high quality end product.
Although the boards "may" be ready this weekend, I'd prefer not to rush things and would like to give them a extra few days in the kiln so as to allow some of the slower drying boards some extra time to dry.
Jeff and I would therefore like to set the pickup date for Saturday October 25, starting at 10 am at my farm in New Hill.
Should you need directions to my farm, please send me a pm sometime between now and October 23, and I'll respond with the needed information.
Thanks!
Scott and Jeff

That's perfect news. I was wondering how I was going to be in three places at one time this coming Saturday. The next Saturday is much better for me. Although it is the Kilngspor Extravaganza weekend, it might be better to move it to Sunday as to not cause conflicts with those wanting to go to Klingspor Extravaganza on Saturday.
Just trying to complicate things a little more.

Hey Scott thanks for posting an update - it seems like so long ago, did Jim and I really cut that much RO, Yep we sure did... Thanks for taking it easy on the load and opening up your farm as designated lumber run pickup site.

*UPDATE* Saturday October 25th Oak Lumber Run.
Well this coming Saturday October 25th is the long awaited day where we'll be having fun with about 4000BF of fresh out of the kiln red oak. I realize it's not the best day as we are overlapping with the last day of the Klingspor's Extravaganza up in Hickory. Please accept my apology if the lumber runs conflict with your plans to attend the Extravaganza.
I spoke with Scott yesterday and here's the game plan for lumber run. I'll be out at Scott's Farm early Saturday morning to help prepare for the lumber run, Scott and I will move the bunks out of his kiln and place them somewhere out on this farm for easy access by truck and trailer.
* The Lumber Run will start around 10:00 AM Saturday October 25th at Scott's Farm @ 6588 Beaver Creek Rd. New Hill, NC 27562 and wrap up around 1:00 or so...
* First on the list of page 1 of this thread is first to pick.
* Like all the other lumber runs - If your not present when it comes yours, we'll skip over you and when you arrive you can go next. We'll start from the top of the list and work our way down.
* you are under no obligation to purchase lumber, if you find it does not meets your expectations.
* Payment is either cash or check.
* Jim's (Member insteadof) lumber is marked on one end with red paint - his lumber goes on my trailer so I can deliver to him later on in the day.
There is also a bonus, Scott will be adding around 700 ~ 800BF of kiln dry quarter and Flat Sawn Red and White oak mix from his personal stash to the Lumber Run. Scott's price is $3.00 a BF for QS and $2.50 for FS.
The WO diving boards (8/4 x 24 x 8 ~ 10') did NOT make it into the kiln, but have been on sticks air drying. We can look at the diving boards during the lumber run and come to some agreement on price less than $3.00 a BF if it were kiln dried. I would like to be able to bring one diving board home (the worst one) to use as a plank for some scaffolding.
Make sure your tires are aired up we got quite a bit of lumber. Should we happen to have extra, Scott has agreed to store it at his farm for a future lumber run.
If you have any questions or need to get in touch with me you can PM me or call my cell phone number @ 919-691-5081.
Thanks Again
