<p>[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 415733, member: 5066"]Thanks, yes i was pleased with the result, the walnut slab wasn't cheap either, i think i paid $600 for that slab above or about $100. per linear foot. I asked the boutique mill where i purchased it why so expensive and the answer was, most of the old trees they took down were in urban areas, houses in the way, power lines, bla bla bla plus for a slab that wide, they must air dry until it reaches 20% moisture content. That slab above took 4 years to air dry to get to that MC before they could finish it in a kiln to get it to final 11% MC. Add all that up, GET OUT YOUR POCKETBOOK when it comes to wide slab walnut.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
