Bubinga inxs

Post by rocket » Sat Nov 22, 2014 12:22 pm

I've never used Bubinga/ African rosewood before but have the opportunity to purchase some but i have to take more than i need, the billet is 220x50 i'm just asking if anyone is interested in taking some off me if i buy the whole piece which is about 4000m.

What does the figure look like? If it has a nice look, a blank for knife handles would be nice.....here is my last build. Bubinga, and nice figure. Very hard and big pores, the cross grain burns if the sanding is too aggressive, but a nice timber....I would take some, if the price is good...

Thanks for the interest in this, Nick, the timber i refer to is cut nicely on the quarter but i didn't notice any figure to write home about but like i said opportunity knocks, Allan the stuff works out at about $153 per lm,
At this stage Frank and Martin have committed to taking some of this off my hands so if there is still a surplus after the three of us get in for our chop i'll repost for any who may still be interested, once again thanks for all your interest.
