But to the midwest, maybe. Does CFCS have minimums for low grade?

    I guess all I really need is a price per pound for low grade boards? I can figure out what the shipping price per pound needs to be from my end to be able to turn a profit.
    can you tell me where you take your low grade , I used to sell them to a place on Warren AVE in Portland but they were not taking them last time Iknew?
