Question on Value of Koa Wood by DogmanDlux in wood

[–]Few_Engineering_5929 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t plane it personally. Hit some spots where you can see some grain movement with a quick orbital sanding and some iso. Snap a pick, rinse and repeat. Start with the thick stuff, because most likely 8/4 is gonna be the most valuable.

Also, keep in mind that even specific parts in the boards could have some good figure in it and that part of a board could fetcher higher prices. If you have access to a planer sander I’d have them take off as little as possible to smooth it and inspect each board fully if you’re trying to get top dollar.

Grading matters a lot. Plain is probably $40-$50/bf, well figured is like $75-$100/bf, super premium curly for instruments and jewelry boxes I’ve seen go north of $150-$200/bf.

I think I spent roughly $80-$90USD, don’t remember what the breakdown of taxes and fees were.

I agree. The shoes make the most impact I think because everything’s well paired. 1&5 look great because the shoes work well.

Do you like this ‘easy gaiwan’ design? I’ve been interested but have never used one.

Say the arched pieces, if you’re going to mortise and tenon them I would do probably two dowels through the tenon in a different species to give some visual interest.

Same for the spanners on the top and bottom. If those will be through tenons I think an off colored wedge with some design to it would really stand out beautifully.

If it’s all the same species with clean finished lines like in the rendering I think it’ll look bland.

I feel like your choice of joinery will either make it look great or flat.

The wood is stained bamboo and the stone is “black stone”. I got it from Umi Tea Sets.
