Live edge slabs
« on: September 02, 2014, 12:19:16 pm »

These were cut 16 years ago by a local Amish teenager. I got them from a guy who bought them at the time and put them in his barn to dry. They are 3/4" thick cherry. The ruler on the right is 36" long so it gives a sense of their size. The surfaces are sawn - so they could be planed or sanded, or cut as they are. He has a bunch of them - he's been using them for sign making.

Any estimates a fair selling price?
Any ideas on how to package them for shipping? I was thinking of cutting a piece of 3/8" OSB and plastic wrap them, but I'm open to other suggestions.

OK!!! WOW!!!

I have never bought any of these things in hardwood, only the basswood ones from the hobby stores. So I have no idea what to estimate for a proper price. I will do some research this afternoon & get back to you on that.
I would gladly take the three shown in the photo.

Shipping suggestion, take them as they are to a UPS store, let them pack & ship and immediately email or call with the cost and i will send to you money via "PayPal" if you have an account. OR they could casll me when to are there and I will give them my debit card no.

You are a real friend to do this for me...Thank You immensely!

Nice! I don't know about price, but if and when you sell, I'd be interested in some :-)

I love working with slabs.  When you have a price let me know.  Please, pretty please.
