I am negotiating with a widow near where I live to buy all of her late husband’s mixed hardwood collection. It is about 2000 board feet of walnut, oak, maple, birch, alder, mesquite and elm.  There is a bit of clear white pine and some juniper thrown in.  As far as I know, most of it is not kiln dried, but is has been properly stacked and stored in a very dry climate for upwards of 20 years.  Does anyone know what a fair price would be for the whole lot of wood? I don’t want to take advantage, but I don’t want to make a mistake.  We live in southern New Mexico, where hardwoods come at a dear price.
