If your cutting it into bowl blanks because someone cannot cut this themselves then you can understand that . Leaving it as a whole pc I think would get you the biggest price .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?
