Nice Tommer. Very nice. And I just happen to need a new look for the dashboard of my Transit....

What is the plan with the planks? Do you sell them on?

[tommer9]

Haha- thanks guys. It is all milled for somebody- not my timber, and the bulk of it is going to become a staircase, the rest will go to cabinet/ furniture makers. Some huge 60ish kilo burrs came out of the slab wood which will go to turners. Its milled on my Hudson Oscar 36 mobile bandsaw......

Unfortunatelt they arent mine to sell, but if they were i would be looking fo in the region of £80/ft3, the going rate for green sawn oak being around the £30/ft3 at the mo, and these are spectacular. Each board is (very) roughly 1.4 ft3, so over £110 a board. However, as i say they arent mine, i just thought i would share the experience.

 

Anyway, i'm off to deliver them now.
