Today's milling

He says it was 3 cubes. Shininess just going off of that. 
 
It’s not a particularly desirable timber but you dont ask you don’t get. 🤣

It is around 3/4 cube depending on thickness. but it is also only 1.4m long. Not big enough for most projects that you would want 1m width.
Id value it at £200 seasoned max. Nobody wants syc and it's not a practical shape.

Someone was paying 65 a cube seasoned.

I am asking 120 for the board but working on the wow factor as a top up over green price.

yes a little funky in shape but practical table with a stunning book match pair which has already sold for more than I was initially asking.

this timber is showing some amazing figure of all types.

I ask s the only stuff I've had move that much, so soon after milling was some cherry.

It was wet when milled and took a few hours to start to move and after a few days was useless. 
It's now very Posh firewood. 

 

p.s. can't imagine 2 year old HC was an easy mill. Tough as old boots I imagine.  ike some old maple I tried and gave up on.

Yes it was harder going than anticipated, so much tension as you can see from that picture was a right pain in the arse.

I’ll be strapping these bad boys on Saturday and getting them painted
