Hello All,

I'm wanting to move this Bubinga billet and I thought there would be no better place to find advice than from this group of builders. So here it is what do you think would be the best way to get rid of it? It's a big chunk of wood at 3 1/8" thick x 9 5/8" wide x 48" long.

Thanks,
Greg

Greg,

You could get some lovely harp guitar b/s sets out of that beauty

Would you like to clarify what you mean by "get rid of"

Hi Dave,

I didn't want to put a price thinking that might not be appropriate, so if it does go beyond reasonable I'm sorry for posting the price....$375.00 buyer pays shipping.

Greg

I've got several smaller pieces just like it. 1" stock, max 5" wide, sadly.

Nice stuff, but not that rare of a figure for bubinga. I bought a few hundred board feet of up to 16" wide 4/4 for $11.00 a board foot wholesale.
