Geezzz, talking about "wood porn"...! just imagine what that tree had to endure to reach a size and age capable to produce such wood...!
Many unique slabs are cut everyday into small pieces and while the wood processor can have the best reason in the world, to spoil forever something nature created, is nice to see that some, escape that fate...!
I'm not sure, if I should ask for costs/prices, as I may have a big surprise, something that doesn't happen often with these issues but sometimes, people just get "treasures" for the price of monkey food...!:wink::biggrin:
Good luck with the project...!
Cheers
