Spalted beech slabs....Price?

[Andy Collins]

How much to ask for per cubic foot? Oh and its kiln-dried

[slackbladder]

What size and what thickness and how good is the spalting

[Andy Collins]

Sizes vary 2-5inch, 6-8foot long boards, spalting as good as you get, interesting anyway.

I'd be asking around £30-00 a cube if someone was going to have a few planks andy... but that's just me!

i'd say £90 a cube, Its rare to get it right before the wood goes soft.

[Andy Collins]

Sheeesh! Thats a fair price!

[tommer9]

sorry Rob, but i think you are a bit on the low side there too. I would have said 60-90/ cube without any pithiness of the wood.

[John Hughes]

I would ask £25 to £30 per ft3.

[Big J]

A lot of money for beech is £60.

 

I just don't do spalted beech (too much of a gamble and too much hassle) but if I had some really good stuff, I'd ask in the region of £30-35 a cube for it. Assuming a £2 a hoppus foot cost price, it would only be about £8 a cubic foot total cost once sawn, stacked and kilned, so £60 seems a bit high.
