    Had an inquiry from a wood customer looking for a slab for a table top. I have a couple 3-4" thick stump cutoffs of honey locust and sugar maple. Roughly 24" diameter. Any idea what i should quote him? The maple has a bit of punk and borer holes. IMG_2641.JPG IMG_2642.JPG IMG_2643.JPG IMG_2644.JPG IMG_2645.JPG IMG_2646.JPG

    From my understanding the maple could undergo a epoxy treatment and be perfectly fine... with character... I think the HL is too far gone IMO...

    Current customer?
    Free to a good customer?

    Chances are it would end up in the nugget bin anyway.
    Throw the guy a bone and keep him happy , happy customer will remember this and be back for more = maybe?

    I'd have him make you an offer. If you need the dollar amt, hop on fbmp and looks for similar. I've seen 'em on there, especially smaller for wedding table decorations. The only problem is, just because they're asking $xx, doesn't mean they are selling at that.

    If he only wants one or two they should be a gift , Good chance you will be paid back three fold in one way or another.

    I have one of those style tape measures. I prefer the black over yellow. Easier for me to see.

    $1.00/ bd ft
    Nominal $20 each
    Those would be my thoughts
