I got this 3 x 3 x 12 piece of African black wood somewhere between 12 and 15 years ago. The actual sizes are more like 3 1/8 of an inch by 3 1/8 of an inch by 12 1/2 inch. The weight is 6 pounds. $150 plus shipping and insurance. There is no sign of checking that I can see on this, but the ends were lightly waxed before shipping from Belforest. It’s in the actual shipping packing provided by Bell Forest the little bit of sap wood probably would go away after trimming to a true 3 inch size
