I think they seem reasonable but then again I'm a miner... but if I was to start using boards, I'd definitely buy at those prices vs. chopping them.

The price of wood will dictate the price of the furniture, containers ect. (Unless someone else who is a lumberjack also does carpentry could drop the prices)
Your the only one doing it so you could charge what ever you want, just look at the % ratio to get the wood vrs the % ratio to get ore / ingots you can't really compare them but you could get an idea on what to charge for a resource. With that said think about how many hours you spend in order to get that amount of say mahogany (if its 100 boards an hour well shit who would spend the hour for 15k when you could hunt and make that in 10 mins) now you also have to consider being reasonable because the higher the wood the higher the failure rate meaning its even MORE expensive to buy / make On the other side hunting in those lucrative spots can get you pk'ed so lumber jacking is safer which can affect the price because i would consider it safe easy money.
I would say that there is no wood market yet so charge high prices because really wood is only used in deco so in order to be a baller, well you gotta have lots of coin meaning it would be impressive to have a all blood wood furniture set up in your house. [best bet is to run a vendor for the best profit possible and make money so when your playing you focus on getting the lumber vrs trying to sell it.]
In short charge high since no one else does it and its hard to get the wood its not as safe as mining because you are in the open a bit (it is a big world tho) I like your prices, I do find them high as a consumer but it's prolly what I would charge as a supplier. I think that someone should start a guild or something to band all the miners and lumber-jacking freaks together so that they can set a price and adjust the prices together to help each other. some how there needs to be an economy here and at the moment the only real economy here is in the resource collectors but it will only take one person to undercut the prices how ever the trick if someone cuts your prices really badly buy all there product and hope to buy them out so much that they cant keep up and are forced to go back to your vendor the problem with this method is you could get them very rich.
After all that rambling I hope I helped you and Ill buy all the wood you can put on a vendor.

A guild is always a good idea for people to help each other. On IN1 there was BoS (Brotherhood of Steel), where the older players would really help out younger ones.
Later on it even had an Order branch, the BoS Knights, if I am not mistaken...

I just logged for a hour and the prices i have for my lumber i can make double in hunting so i think they are pretty reasonable main reason why i'm doing it is like soma said i am really the only lumberjack on IN and people are gonna need there lumber to build and raise carpentry so in that case BUY MY WOOD! also i got lumber for sell..
