burred elm looking for

[Big Beech]

looking for possibly some heavily burred elm, or better still all burr with superb coloration if possible

ideal planks would be up to around 30-35" x 2.5 x 8" deep.

must be dry, ready to work with a MC of 12% or lower or able to be kilned to 10%

 

anyone have anything, pictures would be gr8 and of course the sort of money you would be looking for.

 

TIA

I have a good sized log that I'd describe as heavily pipped, though perhaps not burred. It is however showing signs of being spalted, which adds a dimension of interest.

 

It can be cut to order and kilned, but I'm doing a full kiln load of customers buying by the log (on the hoppus measure). Timber will be discounted over 20% to £28 a hoppus foot though, so a very economical way to purchase timber. Roughly speaking there are about 35-40 cubic foot in the first 8-9ft length of that stem.

 

Would be 10 weeks from now until it's ready (10% MC)
