I have 4/4 but not sure about live edge. What length and width are you looking for?

Really not particular other than live edge. Making cast charcuterie boards. 16”+

Here is an example of what could be made from Maple from a sugar bush.I think it's more about provenance rather than eye candy. B2E95469-3804-40B2-AEA3-B3349DBCDE60.jpeg 403CB46A-6CA6-41E2-B382-5BB3F467A55B.jpeg

I've got some spalted tap hole , but it's green milled mid winter. It's also buried under the recent snow. You can contact me in a couple of weeks if you have any interest.

My house has touches of tap hole throughout. It shows up in stair treads, wainscot, and window casings. As you say it may be more provenance or in my case family heritage. My wife's family has been tapping maple trees on the same farm for nearly 300 years. My grandfather, father, my son and I were or are sugar makers. My son now has 9000 taps, and my 8 year old grandson just tapped 5 trees on my lawn.

That's awesome! My dad did a little when I was a kid 50 years ago.

Sorry my OCD wants those holes to be the symmetry on that turkey call. I think you need to be more deliberate where you place taps each year in order to get the holes just right for making calls. 😋
