Thank for the help. Peter

Antone have any 6/4 mahogony (or dark wood) they want to part with??

Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


I started on this chessboard last weekend, but when I applied to Danish Oil (or even just clear poly), the cedar and cherry I'm using didn't contrast all that well. So, I'm trying to find some darker 6/4 wood for the dark "columns". I've got plenty of the white cedar so I'll be cutting around all the knots.

I figure I need a 6/4 piece that's about 1 ft long and maybe 8-10" wide. (I can't do the board feet calculation in my head).


Do you have a piece like that? Or even 6/4 offcuts, I'll take those. The tallest column I need is 4" and they step down 1/2" from there. Any dark wood will do.


Name you (reasonable) price if you do. Thanks! (I'm in Mass so I'll tack on the shipping costs).
