Wish I could afford it but the shipping would be a killer and I don’t want to drive at least 10 hours to pick it up.

Select and Better and heavy eyed can actually be 2 different things, select and better being the grade in general, and heavy eye being the grade of the birdseye, i have select and better, 2A and better heavy eyed which is from 2A to FAS but heavy eyed,

Shipping to a larger city isnt that bad, for about 25 bd ft. it would be around 65 dollars, which would weigh around 100lbs.

shipping seems to average for small quantities around $2 dollars a ft generally, this is all high end stock personally selected by me from behind the planer, I probally sorted through around 6,000 feet to get this amount, im a lumberman by trade, this is some of the finest birdseye ive ever seen

Probably cheaper to buy a boat than have that shipped to Alaska

Pictures to come, yes, i have some wide stock, alot of it is actually in the 5-6” range which is a very common cut when peeling the jacket boards of a log, or from off the cant closer to the heart, rikkor, i will see what i got and get you some exact pics. It isnt near a city, far from actually, the closest larger towns are Escanaba 40 miles, Iron Mountain 15 miles, Marquette 2hrs, Green Bay WI, 2hrs

I’d be interested in pieces as rikkor. 8” x 24” and 5 to 5.5” x 36” for guitar backs and sides. Got anything like that.

Just wanted everyone here to know that I purchased some of Barlow’s birdseye maple. I can honestly say that I got more than what I paid for. This stuff is some of the heaviest birdseye I have ever seen. The stuff I’ve looked at in the past at $20/bd. ft. and higher doesn’t compare to what Barlow has at $9/bd. ft. for his good stuff. Barlow is a straight shooting guy, and I definitely plan to make future purchases. When I got my package there was a note in there saying he has white ash this month for $1.65/bd. ft. That’s hard to beat.

For those of you who haven’t purchased any of Barlow’s birdseye maple yet, what are you waiting for? This stuff is special!!

I got some of this, and I agree with Vinman. This stuff is great. I think I’ll be able to get 4 guitars out of it.

i actually have more than when i started, i’m dealing with a mill right now, so i have alot in stock-approx 475 ft and another 300 in the kiln, along with 350 ft of soft maple curl 4/4 and 6/4, shipping by UPS is available, usually use FedEx, but UPS if you like, prefer U.S. postal service money order/cashiers check.
