    Sapele $1/BF?

    I am in the position to get a bunch of sapele "outs" for a very cheap price. I don't need a whole lot but will buy the whole bundle if I get some interest. There is plenty of good wood in these boards, although there may be some slight cupping or bending in some. Variuos lengths and widths but overall not bad. I know I can get 4/4, maybe even 5/4 or 6/4 or 8/4. PM me with any interest. It would be $1/BF with a 50 BF minimum. Thanks!

    I'd be interested in some 8/4 or 6/4 in 6" or 7" widths. I would need it to be clear as well, it will be destined to be guitar bodies.

    Hey, Brian. What do you think the average length is? I'm interested in about 100 bd ft of 4/4 and/or 5/4 (maybe even 6/4) if they're not too short.

    I'd be interested in 100 bdf or more, any dimensions, any moisture content. Thanks for offering it Brian.
