I want it to make baseboards, door and window casings and moldings for my house. I BELIEVE IN MY GOD, MY COUNTRY AND IN MYSELF.

That is typical Ask is this in the rough or sufaced Rough should be 1”. Hit and miss is 15/16. Planed both sides slightly. Or surfaced to what you want Is it slr. ? Straight lined rioped? Thus is o e edge straight edged. If your a small hobby guy and your buying from a place that can do this you should. Usuall its a 100 dollars a thousand bd ft. Also you should ask fir it to be hit and miss another 50 to 100 a 1000bd ft. They cant slr without hit and miss plane Ask if bd ft is based on green talley. Or net tally Green is pre kilned net is after. If you buy on green expect to get about 900 ft but pay for 1000

I'm not sure what blade he has in his mill, I assume it's a band saw mill but I will ask. I doubt it will be straight edged but again, I will ask. This guy is just a backyard start up operation so the best price I will probably ever get from him is now. I BELIEVE IN MY GOD, MY COUNTRY AND IN MYSELF.

The shrinkage is much less along the length, than the thickness or width. Still, expect shrinkage, and install accordingly. Man who mistake shillelagh for fairy wand; see pixie dust, also.

Around here to dry green lumber in a kiln it runs about .40-.60 a bf.... Usually it should be air dried a bit before it goes in the kiln... Thought I was a good trapper until I started trapping coyotes...... Thought I was a good bowhunter until I targeted mature bucks....
