If you want some cut just send an email. Another alternative is to get 8/4 stock from the same board and do a glue up.
It takes a LOOOOONG time for thick wood to dry. When its 8/4 I can kiln dry after about 6-8 months but time is usually your freind. 4 inch stock can take 2-3 years to have a dry core.
I tell my customers..buy when you dont need it set it aside and let it dry sloooowly and you will save money and have a better product AND it will be available when you need it.

Kyle, I would like to begin work on this project in the next few weeks so it MUST be dry. I have laminated 3x3 legs on many occasions but I'm going to hold out for solid stock on this bed project.
I am going to take DaveO up on some of that AD QS red oak. I'll stick it in the rack and it'll be ready for use in a year or two.

That would be your best bet to stock up on the qsawn stuff from Dave. The dried stock of that material is very expensive otherwise. I sell to Cornell Zimmer on occasion and they specifically request 12/4 and 16/4 quartersawn whiteoak stock for the pipe organs. Hardly anyone carries thick stock like that anymore only the small sawyers.
Nope that was QSWO, I still have this Red Oak from my wood haul many months ago. But that is about the end of it all. I may be getting some QSWO, Walnut and Cherry soon from my sawyer friend :eusa_danc

Dave,
Will you be doing another "wood haul" like last time? will this one be green or dried wood? If I can get my act (and my shop) together, I have a couple of projects for family members on the to-do list and I'll eventually need to start shopping for wood.
Ray
This round should be kiln dried. I don't know exactly when I will get some or how much, but the prices will be very reasonable. If you need some, when I have some, great. I jumped the gun on posting the availability of the last wood haul, and my buddy didn't come through for a good while after that and some folks who expressed an interest gave up on waiting for me :eusa_doh:
I will let you know when it is a done deal.

No worries on timing. I have enough projects on the list to keep me going for a long time.
