What did you have to pay for it?

Check your PM..

Any suggestions on what I should use to seal the lumber? Looking for something good and non-slippery.

I guess the reason people are not using wood alternatives like composite is cuz you may have to nail some things down?

I couldn't find any good prices on composite down here.

will boiled linseed oil work as a sealant on the lumber?

BTW, I was just contracted by a major lumber supplier to haul and sell Tauri aka Brazilian Oak to the entire trucking industry. As soon as I have the numbers, I'll let everyone know. Keep in mind it's actually harder than apitong. If you're looking for wood for your trailer, please keep me in mind. Thanks
