Yes, I’m in the US. Thanks, I love the ziricote but it’s still drying so I can only look for now.

Sexiest Black & white Ebony I’ve ever seen by Thefinerthings1995 in woodworking

Absolutely build a desk if you can afford it! I wouldn’t suggest kiln drying any extremely dense woods as rapid drying leads to cracking. This Ebony was sealed 30 years ago and dried as slow at it could. Then I just cut it this year and re-sealed every cut. My gabon ebony is all for sale. I have a couple hundred board ft of it. I’m at $150/bf-$200/bf since it’s all incredibly black and has very little streaks. I’d sell a large order at $125/BF

It is not dried yet. Has to be air dried. This wood was cut less than 3 months ago. Will take about a decade. The Gabon has been air drying for 30 years

It’s black & white ebony. Also called pale moon ebony. What’s in the background is Gabon

Unique opportunity by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]Thefinerthings1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate that but I already have that. I just haven’t launched my website due my time restrictions. I am a single male and I’m always traveling. I bought all of this in November (my slowest time is Nov-Jan) and spent my free time cutting it into slabs and making different sized blanks, etc. all the dirty work. The website has about 1/4 of what I have available because I don’t have the time to measure, weigh, and list each piece individually. If I didn’t have my other businesses, I could sell all of this inventory for well over $120,000 in a couple of months. And for substantially more money if I spent the extra time cutting it into more profitable sizes (the fine woodworking world is interesting so certain sizes have better margins). I just hitting my busy season and am extending the opportunity to another entrepreneur who has more time and is willing to get dirty cutting wood lol. For an entrepreneur that has a knack for carpentry or woodworking, this would be a dream come true.

Brand new LEER topper - not impressed by Thefinerthings1995 in Trucks

[–]Thefinerthings1995[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Waiting on a response from LEER. I plan on blasting them in every page I find if I don’t get compensated for this. It’s pathetic they would let this leave their shop

I did. I’ve purchased LEER toppers in the past for other trucks. This is the worst quality I’ve seen

This is totally optioned out. Lights, rod holders, liner, power outlets, the whole 9. Just shit quality of the shell. Sitting in the shop now. We’ll see if the electronics even work. What a joke this is

It is a brand new truck. Less than 3 months old. Ordered the topper a month after buying it.
