November 12, 201015 yr Wow, I wasn't paying attention to how big that was until I finally noticed the person standing at the end. Duh!! That is really nice..
November 12, 201015 yr I've sold off some of them as bar tops , but there are quite a few left . I'm slabbing more big logs today as a matter of fact !
November 12, 201015 yr Author OK Rob, how about some 8/4, about 40 bdft, slab is great, I love the figure, I am thinking this would make a really cool chair with all those swoopy grains and character. And that color is excellent, how did you get the color on the one pictured, did you splash some minerals on it? rob durfos said:I've sold off some of them as bar tops , but there are quite a few left .

I'm not worried about knots or deep character traits, I can incorporate those into the chair and or cut around it. rob durfos said:
November 12, 201015 yr Hi John , I have several slabs in that size range and a little thicker . That is just the color of the wood naturally after cutting .
November 12, 201015 yr Author When can I come over Rob, and how much do you want for that incredibly wonderful wood. If you want to open up "Chat" Rob I am sitting there right now. rob durfos said:Hi John , I have several slabs in that size range and a little thicker .

November 12, 201015 yr Author Rob, thank you for the wonderful discussion we had on the phone, your tops sir.
December 1, 201015 yr This bigger stuff is done with an Alaskan Mill . It takes two people to run and is rather slow but cost effective . Hopefully soon I will have access to a 48 inch band mill to do this with . Big slabs like this are very popular and sell pretty well.
