Have you guys seen the price of Black Walnut lately?
I used to get furniture grade BW for $3 to $3.50 a bd. ft.
The guy I used to get it from has gone up to $12.50 a bd. ft. lately.
He said the Thousand canker disease it getting more widespread now & his prices reflect it.
The big slabs are going for a King's ransom these days, and so is the 16/4 stuff too.
I was paying $5 for 4" square X 18" blanks, but those days are long gone now. The last few I bought were $22 each.:frown:
If you like turning BW, I suggest you stock up on it fast.
