Slab wanted - 6.5 meters long roughly

[Stihl123]

Hi got a customer after a slab for a dinning room table 

Needs to be about 6.5 meters long 

Min width 850mm

Max width 1600mm

 

Ideally after something that's already been in the kiln 

 

Doesn't really matter too much what wood it is 

 

Required in Ipswich, Suffolk area 

 

Please dm me if you'd have anything suitable 

 

Cheers

Good luck [emoji106]

I’ve a stick that might just be about that, only recently felled though.
I can measure it tomorrow if you like.
It’s oak.

You won’t find one.
Will have to be cut to order.
Do you know how thick that would need to be so it didn’t tear itself apart?
And how heavy??????
I hope you’ve taken a massive non-refundable deposit?
And given your client a 12-18 month lead time?

Not to mention,
Who has a 7m kiln?

Got asked for a piece of walnut recently.
4.8m x 1.2m
Kiln dried.
They didn’t like my quote.

I very much doubt its going to be easy or possible! 

The customer spoke to someone today who said he'd be able to import a bit no worries but I have no idea what it would be like 

 

I said I'd try over here first

Vastern timber are the most likely to be able to come up with something.
