Hello my friends,I am looking for some boards 13 long and around 10 wide and 3/4 thick ish.
at least 6 of them for a top and bottom and sides.
I mainly use mesquite and walnut and just looking for some other options ,anyone got some really cool pieces they would like too part with ? Thanks Kris
 
You looking for a certain color or figure or ... ? Light, dark, spalted, crotch feather, burl, curl,etc are all here in diffent spots. You might be able to trigger a few exotics if that is what you want...

Probably more crotch or spalted ,not real specific on color I usually lean towards darker woods I guess.
I wouldn’t mind a couple options if I could get them.
 
@Flacer22 had pallets of walnut crotch. I guess if no one has your order filled by the weekend, I will try to dig a few dry boards out that have a 'smidge' of spalting... I have used the main batch on my floor. Have multiple species. Just the 10 inch width that is interesting. Is that width for all 6 boards or is that to allow you to fold the edge of your boxes?
I know some of my boards are over 12 wide but don't have them to hand at the moment.
 
Ya I have boat loads of walnut crotch might be little.hard getting them that wide especially the wide ones tend to be thicker too. But I can dig out some narrower stuff and take pics of this is route u wanna go

I just prefer to have the top and bottom pieces that are not joined is all.

Very pretty ,I can get by with 9 wide as a minimum,I would be interested in some of this for sure.
 
The top picture from previous post I still have that board but it's like 36inx20in

First pic is not planned but had really good figure right down center of board it's 11wide and 28 long could trim it to 24 easy enough to ship it's 1.5in thick

Next one is more like 10 wide and 15ish long. It has really nice figure but it's more to the side of board it's skip planned but just under 1.5in thick.

And of those Interest you? Or I can try to find more just have to dig deeper.
