Wouldn't they be metric over there? You'd need the price per cubic meter.

I just happened to have looked through my receipts yesterday.
6 months ago I paid 27 quid per cube for European boule oak (waney
edged, through and through kiln dried boards) about half of which was
quartersawn.
About a year ago I paid 20 per cube for American white oak (square
edged, kiln dried boards 8x1s) crown cut.
Both of these are FAS and rough sawn 1" timber.
Those prices don't include VAT or delivery. I've got the good fortune
to live in the same town as my timber yard (John Boddies in
Boroughbridge) so the timber goes on my roofrack.
Those prices will vary and you get a discount if you order lots (I
think that more than 10 foot and you start getting
discount....although I could be wrong).

Hi, Mick
Prices are very variable, depending on what you're after. I deal with Harry
Adcock of Corby Glen, who works out at around 40 GBP per cu ft for air-dried
stuff (waney boards, so considerable wastage) and Honeypot Lane Timber, who
supplies freshly-sawn oak at 12.50 GBP per cu ft (cut to your specs)
It's hard to give a single representative price. Clear timber is more
expensive than timber with defects. Wide boards are rarer than narrow
boards, so they tend to attract a premium. Quarter-sawn timber is more
attractive and stable, but the conversion process is wasteful, so it too
will attract a premium price.
The following is South London Hardwoods' website, showing the price of their
loose oak boards.

You can do the maths!

Hi, Mick,
Not too far down the A1 from you, in sunny Rutland. Had a look at the lincs
ng - I presume you're talking about the reclaimed oak beams @20 GBP per cu
ft - that's a pretty good price. Shame I don't have the storage space, or a
job for it at the moment!
Regards,
Frank

Oak is a slow growing tree, so we're still felling the old imperial
trees. The metric plantings won't be ready for a decade or two yet.
Thanks for the info Frank.
Have a look at uk.local.lincolnshire and you will see why I was asking.
