I have the entire back of my Jeep Grand Cherokee full of shorts (2' to 7') that I purchased from a friend today! Walnut, mahogany, curly maple, padauck, etc. A lot of my wood piddling is small projects. He is moving out of state in June and was cleaning out some shorts, so tomorrow I gotta find somewhere to store all of it! I need a better way to store these shorts, any suggestions? Don't really store well in a rack system, maybe some sort of divided box. I would like maybe to be able to store by species or at least by lengths.
Does anyone else stash lumber back? I must have 700-800 bdft of different species here at the house! When I feel like I am getting a GREAT price on good lumber, like my tool buying obsession, I feel like I gotta grab it! Saw some beautiful wide, flaked oak today, 8/4 and 12-14" wide and probably 8' in length. Moisture content would be around 20% I would guess. About 140 bdft. Very nicely stickered and no checking that I could see. "Air dried". Offered at what I thought was a very good price! Don't even have a project in mind for it, but for the price, should I put it in my stash? And what would be a GREAT price anyway since I don't really have an idea?
