Red Hinoki big block. SOLD

[Byron Barker]

here is the bottom half of a red Hinoki log (I think) that I offered for sale earlier. @300LW expressed interest in it early on, so it’s his if he’d like it. Absolutely gorgeous. Sealed with polyurethane and insanely good smelling. 34x24x19cm. I’m asking 80$ for this one plus shipping. I can sell it for far more here, but I’d like to offer it to you since you asked. For anyone reading, I do have the cut offs of this piece. I can make a cut off box for you and post it for sale if interested.

I'll take it if @300LW doesn't want it. Otherwise I'll take cutoffs

Sweet. Lusting . . .

 

[300LW]

I'll take it.

Got it. Great piece of wood with no visible defects. It will make a couple of nice side grain turning blocks.

Glad you like it. Once in a lifetime piece of wood there. Let us know what you do with it! Also, be sure to let it slowly acclimate to your climate. There was a lot of moisture still in the wood due to it having been in the ocean. Watch for checks developing and seal with CA glue if they do.

I'll go ahead and coat the whole thing in wax and monitor the weight.
