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

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

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 make Windsor chairs and would be interested in curly or bird’s eye hard maple that is thicker and/or wider. For the legs I prefer 9/4 or at least 8/4; for the seat it needs to be 8/4 at least and 20” X 24” or longer. Ever cut any that thick?

Can you email me? I have some questions about how it’s sized…

I’d probably only need 6 bf, would it be worth it to you?

I just received some of this maple and mistakenly showed it to the Mrs. She now has all kinds of ideas on how I should use it … It’s beautiful wood, fairly priced and showed up on my doorstep a lot sooner than I expected (though I think the delivery fella was a bit surprised by the weight). At the moment, I’m hiding it from the Mrs. hoping she’ll forget that I have it so I try some of my ideas.

I received my order of 20+ bd/ft of Birdseye from Barlow on Friday. Very pleased with the density of eyes and variety of figure across the boards. The shipping is very fast and reasonable considering its weight of 96 lbs. I’ll post some pictures of the stock once I start my project.

If you’re looking for some nice BEM stock, Barlow is your guy.
