just got this. 5' x 4' x 3-4". I assume it's big leaf but I'm no expert. This was in storage for 20 plus years. Willing to trade for sticks or billets of Ebony, African Blackwood , cocobolo, figure maple and probably almost anything

Cutting this up this morning. Any special sizes need to trade.
Jesse, I would suggest start cutting up the largest of sizes you think you may be able to trade/sell. Then work your way down the sizes. Save the live edges for the members who cast. You should be able to sell the entire slab with no left overs if cut correctly.
Take a gander at the list of sizes in my signature for an idea of commonly used blanks...

Awesome. Thank you
 
Looks like BEB to me.
 
Whatcha got cut up so far?
 
Crap won't let me post.
Files too big?
If so, i find if i post em to fb then save em from there and post em.
Or send em to myself via pic text then save em and post em, either way works good.....

What wood you like to trade? I have some twice-dyed and stabilized pen blanks, some finished pens, finished bowls....
I would trade for finished product you have. Prefer pens. 1 1/2" x12" min wood blocks too.
