Ottway Bwood

Post by needsmorecowbel » Wed Dec 14, 2011 2:59 pm

Hey guys got my hands on some rather large slabs of medium to highly figured ottway blackwood with a bit of sapwood. The slabs measure 1045 x 110 x 200 (There is a slight crack on one side) and 650 x 65 x 200. As i don't have access to a bandsaw/ drum sander I'd be willing to part with some 7-10 mm drop tops or equivalent in backs/ sides if someone could help me mill the remaining wood into electric drop tops. I'm sure we could come to a mutually beneficial arrangement (I am NOT A LAWYER). PM me if you are in Melbourne and interested. Though it might be worth a shot!
