March 5, 20215 yr Popular Post I just talked to a guy about some wood he wants to sell. He said he has 7 pieces 7’ long, 12” wide and 3.5” thick. He said they are old and dry. He thinks they are oak or hickory. He is asking around $100 for all of it. He is going to send me some pictures tomorrow. That would make a lot of bowls if it is any good. He said there is not any rot or cracks. Wish me luck.
March 5, 20215 yr If it is old oak or hickory it will be very hard as aging does that to those woods. Hope you get to have some fun
