Drag it out when company comes to cut some cheese.... you know these two suggestions were meant as jokes, but they're really no more ridiculous than spending $125 a board foot for wood OR $75000 for a table. At least as a dart board or cheese cutting board, the wood would be getting put to some good use. Unlike a boardroom table. -- Steve Barker remove the "not" from my address to email |

I'm wondering if the best thing to do with these flinches is to
cut them up as veneers? I am looking at wild grain on these and no boardroom table I've ever seen has natural edges. The problem is where do you go and get the veneer's cut? That requires a lot of skill and a huge resaw. MJ |

I am not sure how you would do it. It would probably have to be a rustic or primitive style, nothing fancy. But that grain and a nice finish job, everybody would be looking at the wood and not at the fire. That would be an awkward size to work with. Not many garage shops could handle a project like that . Either budget wise or size wise. |

The problem is where do you go and get the veneer's cut? That requires a lot of skill and a huge resaw. I'd be surprised if that wood wasn't unstable as hell. Looks like it would have stress and shrinkage cracks all over the place. While on the one hand it seems like a shame to cut up such a large slab of gorgeous wood, what could you possibly construct from it that would a value would exceeding the price of the wood? Other than creating some esoteric piece of art that would be "valuable" only to an elite few with too much money on their hands, it seems like cutting it up into veneers or smaller sections would be a better way to "stretch" the value and beauty of the wood. -- Free bad advice available here.

One of those would make a nice $ 75,000+ board room table. Well within reason. Well, I can see it disappearing very quickly if the business ever got burgled. Only problem is that you need a big hand truck to get it out the door. |
