NO 'separation'.

Everything seems SOLID - the 'punky' chunks went through the chipper.

A light 'creamy' color throughout, except for the 'spalt lines'.

The 'worm holes' go where they go . . . I can see them on the surface, and
internally where the trunk has been cut into quarters.

How about I send you a couple of digital images and you make up your own
mind.

I don't mind sending it anywhere, provided you pay the freight.

I've seen this stuff offered, on commercial sites, for $10 a 'slab' {14x5x2}
. . . what do you think is a fair price ??

Sorry to take so long getting back to you, I've been putting in a lot
of OT at work-

How much it's worth really depends on what it is, and who is buying
it. I recently bought 3 pieces of curly black walnut on eBay from a
commercial place that is 10 x 10 x 4 for $10 a piece. To tell you the
truth, I don't think I would have paid that for green wood, but this
was kiln dried and crack free. *But* it was nothing really
spectacular, either. Sometimes rare figure or unique coloring
overcomes other factors, so it's hard to say. The other thing the
commerical guys do that is pretty neat is some of them stabilize the
blanks with a kind of resin that makes them almost like a plastic.
Nice, because it keeps them from cracking or warping, but I'm not
entirely sure how it's done. I've bought knife scales with that
treatment for almost embarrassing prices- but they were exotic
two-tone burls with amazing figure.

Send me the pics at Prometheusatcharter.net, and I'm sure we can
come up with a mutually agreeable price.
