How Much Is That Little Wood Blank In The Window?
Many members don't worry about what they're paying for a wood blank or a board, as long as it looks good and it's within their budget. If that's the case with you, that's your prerogative and there's nothing wrong with it; sellers love you. Still others see a blank of wood that has tons of...

To me, it comes down to how much you want it. I've paid way more than most would've for some wood that I felt I had to have. Conversely, I've turned down stuff that other guys would die for because it didn't do anything for me. You have to feel good with your decision.

Tony I've never seen anything like this before, so that is why I'm asking is it worth 40 bucks a boards foot? I don't know. It would make some amazing knife scales to sell.

I came up with $40 approximately a board foot
You can make really cool stuff with it but it will likely need epoxy cast and that will need factored into the "is it worth this to me?" Figure. Otherwise, burl is pay what you feel like wood...
I highly disagree.... respectfully. Burl is something that someone needs to do their reaearch on. Or just be willing to pay for something off a knee jerk reaction....
That's basically what I was saying. Individual burls are valued for their individual character. Or lack thereof. You compare to other burls but in the end it's only worth what you are willing to pay. At least to you...
Looks like it will have a ton of voids in it...are those black areas bug damage 
One sees gold another sees firewood.
Worth nothing to me.
Worth nothing to me.
but if you owned it would you sell it to one of your regular customers?
I'll bet there's very little good wood in it
Just cut a cherry burl today. Probably won't get a couple 2x2 blanks from it. But I got a few more good ones
Oops wrong one. I was thinking of another thread
Hello. Inquiring minds want to know... is it coming soon to a mailbox near you?
I have sold a couple wormy cast pieces. That said- I do not like bugs in my wood. lots of holes in wet wood mean lots of bugs- I destroy most of it- Fire at mill is very effective. Been selling specialty wood for over a decade. you have to find your niche, what you do best and ta hell with all the rest. buggy castable wood is not it for me. so would I sell it- sure- but my opportunities are very limited since I throw away before I get home with it....

I would have gone $40-$50 total. Anything above, they need it more.
