Maybe around you it’s only worth fire wood but not here. A guy offered 80$ for it but was just dicking around I guess. I could post that for 50 and I think it would sell fast. I got it for sale at 95$. I thought bowl turners used green wood? I wanna make some 1”slabs, Ithink they might sell better since there is a lot of uses for thinner stuff and drys faster
No disrespect intended, but, you asked the question. I've been here for about 10 years now, and this question comes up all the time. We even have a "Very Valuable BW" thread. My experience comes from 4 generations in the Tree Business. A couple years ago someone posted a pic of a BW tree, and I think it was Sawyer Rob that replied he would pay for the saw log, if he didn't have to do any clean up. So, I asked if the log were near him, how much would he pay? He said if it was clear, he would go about $300. By the pic, it looked like about a cord of wood. We were a big enough company that we sold our logs to brokers that came to our yard and graded the logs there. Every time a log changes hands the price/value goes up. A log can go through 5 different sets of hands before it hits the specialty wood shop, and pending if it's air or kiln dried, it can be years, before it hits the market. We were offered crazy money for BW stumps. But we would have to have bought something like a Case 580 hoe to dig them up. Then repairing the customers yard would eat up any profit in the stump. As I said, if you hit a niche market, the sky is the limit, and CL is your friend. My friend that paid $3000 for a log, that I would have given him free, is a perfect example. The piece you have is a very interesting piece. I could make something abstract out of it that would sell. You kind of answered your own question. You have it listed for $95 and still have it, $80 offered, and still have it, maybe it's time to try $50. What you will find, like I found, is that you have stacks of slabs stacked all over your yard air drying. I have 8', 12/4, live edge Red Oak, White Oak, Dawn Redwood, White Birch, Spalted Maple, I sell for mantles. I get $100 per slab. If I do the local home and garden shows I will finish a few and sell them for $300 with all of the mounting hardware.
