Secret is that you have to have a good sawmill connection for hardwood supply. Large box stores are too costly for hardwood supply. $50 for a 1x6x8 red oak. I can have a whole tree cut up for $75.00. Invest in a good planer and you're making money on boards alone, much less what you build. I've been making custom cutting boards this past weekend for Christmas gifts. Enjoy!

That's what I found out while building my table. Is there anyway to buy untreated pine such as 2x4's and dry them enough for furniture at home?
