I'd guess each slab is close to 100 pounds...at least the really big ones are and there's at least 10 of those. Purely a guess though but 1300 pounds is my conservative estimate

Zip 49224 is where it's located...pickup only. Prefer to sell all at once but will piece it out. PayPal or money order only.
It's hard Norway Maple from a tree that grew in front of the house I lived in most of my life. The compression curl is impressive in many of the slabs. The tree also produced some "angel-step" curl. The guy who milled and dried it was an amateur so there's some areas of checking, but nothing a couple bowties/butterflies can't fix.
There's approximately 350 board feet available which equates to 15 slabs. I conservatively measured each slab width at the ends and middle and here are the sizes per piece (all 2" thick rough sawn and dried for about 8 years):
Widths Length
8,9,14 88
9,13,9 80
14,13,18 108
14,10,20 108
14,18,11 94
21,20,21 112
17,14,17 112
19,19,19 112
21,19,20 112
21,21,21 107
21,21,21 112
21,20,21 108
21,20,19 110
11,11,13 90
20,11,14 106
Here's a teaser of what many of these slabs contain but I'm keeping this one
:
Are these still available?
