There is a local mill that cuts and kiln drys it's own stock. He picked up some local logs and has a few houndred board feet of it in 4/4. He sells it for $4.00 a bd ft. Don't really know if that's cheap or not but it is a pretty wood.
I may have to re-think. I have a small stack of it and I was going to use it for a big, mundane project. I've never used it or really seen it (except for my grandfather's golf clubs) but from the peek I got while stacking it, I assumed it was just another "nut" wood. Now I'm going to open up a board or two and check it out to see if I can put it to more appropriate use. On the other hand, sassafras and butternut are nut woods and I like them alot.
I have some for sale if anybody needs small quantities that will fit a USPS flat rate box. Air dried, not kiln dried, though. If you need some, send me a PM.
