I have some highly figured maple and some very nice cocobolo I need cut. I will pay postage to and from. My bandsaw is now history and have no $ to replace. The maple boards are 6.5" x 20" and the cocobolo is 8" x 20" and about 2.5" thick. The final pieces I need are all 19" x 6". The final wood I need is: Cocobolo 5 x .4" Cocobolo 4 x .125 - .25 depending on if your saw can go down to 1/8" Maple 2 x .625" Maple 4 x .125 - .25 depending on if your saw can go down to 1/8" Whatever is left is yours! Here's what I have: 8 maple boards (only need 6 sent back) 2 large slabs of cocobolo If I need to throw in some $ for something - let me know. I just want to get these cut and done with. Thanks for reading! Images of the wood: http://img94.imageshack.us/g/photo1ia.jpg/ |

If you weren't so far away, I'd be happy to do the job. I'm sure someone closer will reply. Good luck. Dan |

Isn't there a hardwood supplier in the area that can cut this for you - for a small fee ? I found this one in google HardwoodBoardSource.com Designer Doors, Inc. 4810 State Route 7 Burghill, OH 44404 1-800-772-0314 - might save you some postage. Although this is a good deal for one of our luthiers.

I can slice it up for you, if Gaithersburg MD 20878 is not too far away for you. And I can get down to 1/8" ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up") Are those the finished S2S thicknesses you need? Or rough with sawmarks? |

I have a big saw and am fairly decent at resawing. I have done all my own work, learning as I go. 3 HP, 19" Grizzly, 0.032" kerf blade. I am in Jackson MI, but will be in Solon, OH this weekend. Stephen |
