Yarran board

You had another piece before that we were discussing cutting. Are you able to cut this or the other piece? I don't need such a large piece, so I was trying to save some money since you mentioned cutting the other one.
I had to track down that other photo of Yarran. It's getting crazy how many posts and threads are involved in this one transaction lol
So as for the piece of Yarran I want, I don't need any particular size but I do want the heartwood since I'm sourcing it for is strength.
The first piece you offered was irregular shaped with a nice hunk of heartwood in the top half and a lot of sap wood in the bottom half. It's also heavily checked or possibly split. So for that piece, I'd only really be interest in the top half since it seems like there isn't much viable heartwood in the bottom half (correct me if I'm wrong)
The second piece looks like a nice board that's almost entirely heartwood. I'm assuming you don't want to cut this one up right?
I'm not really sure which way to go without seeing them in person. Perhaps you can just give me an idea of what kind of piece you could cut off the first and then I can decide from there?
Hi @Friedrich9 , I'm still interested in an 18.5" turning blank 1 3/8 square of the original piece of yarran that is 1 3/8 thick, and I don't mind some sapwood in it for the character. Wondering if you could do that in the $50-$60 range, but only if the remaining piece suits the needs of @Big Ry at his price point. Thanks for considering.

@SA-Motors I’ll see what I can work out when I get back in tonight, hopefully it can be a win for everyone
Yeah that sounds like a plan to me too

@Big Ry @SA-Motors how’s this look. This is the side with less heartwood. The long stripe on the bottom right would be for SA motors, the top piece 
be for Big Ry, and the bottom right would stay with me

@Friedrich9 that works for me! If you could please make mine 18.5” long and 1 3/8 wide at the narrowest point. Thank you!
