Wood Stored in Barn:

Rough cut dried Boards in the barn are for sale to the club members. The plywood and dimensional lumber (2X4, 2X6 etc…) in the back bay are NOT for sale.  This wood is used for building ramps. 

Prices are marked on the wood.  Select the wood you would like to purchase.  Record the number of boards and the board feet or price for each species on the clipboard hanging on the center post in the barn.   Pay the club treasurer,  their name and address is posted above the clip board. 

We try to keep an updated barn inventory as shown below however boards can be sold at anytime.  The club counts on you the members to record the boards removed so an accurate inventory can be maintained.
