I have just come across approx 300 bdft of 4/4 Nogal. If you haven’t worked with this species, it is a very uniform, very dark brown … almost black. Comes from Peru and is almost never available in anything but 4/4 due to being slow to dry. The material is new, old stock that the supplier no longer wants to carry. I use for bowties in live edge slabs, lettering on signs, and anywhere I want to add a dark feature to a project. Typical pricing runs $11-12/bdft. I haven’t gotten a final price, but expect it to be a 30-40% discount.
My banker (aka “she who must be obeyed”) isn’t too wild about my putting 300 bdft into slow moving inventory. So, in order to pull this off, I need fellow woodworkers who could join in the buy.
Anyone? Let me know if interested and I’ll relay details as they settle.
