Long board or blanks

[Webb]

Let’s say there is an 24”x6”x3” piece of clear walnut with no visible imperfections. No splits, pith, knots, or bark intrusions.

As a seller, what brings the best price, whole, sliced into boards, or cut into bowl blanks?

As a buyer, what would be your preference?

 

[Mr. Peet]

That is a loaded question. Each answer reflecting the end use. The other influence is shipping. Over 22 or 23" inches triggers more costs with USPS. At a craft show or fair, not an issue. I could see that wood being a few bowls and call blanks just as easily as balasters. Best of luck.

A cutting board maker surely don’t want it cut into pen blanks
