<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 293533, member: 5066&quot;]Tell you what, if you want a single board, depending on species, GET OUT YOUR POCKETBOOK! You&#039;ll end up at a boutique type saw mill, these guys go all over the country &amp; harvest old growth trees, often in urban areas in old neighborhoods.</p><p>In my case, walnut board was 6 feet long X 27 inches wide &amp; cost $600 and this was years ago, about $50 per board foot. I asked why so much? Answer was, these trees are often difficult to fell, they are HUGE, often in urban area, houses in way, power lines in way, bla bla bla. Then, something that wide has to be air dried, FOR YEARS! in my boards case, 4 years of air drying before they could finish it in kiln.</p><p>Add all that up and wide boards = BIG BUCKS![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
