    Default what is a jarrah slab worth?

    I have just been offered $450 for a jarrah slab that I milled about 6 years ago. 4.0m x 800mm x 60mm. It has some small pockets of pocket rot and no special features.

    I would have had 8 of these slabs but I had a problem with the saw and when I returned to my log some wayne kerr had chopped it up for firewood!!

    I am in WA where jarrah is probably easier to get than over east and I cant be bothered value adding the slab myself

    Deal or no deal? (otherwise known as new dust extractor or not?)

    Measured by the cube, (it's about 1/5 m3, I think) that's expensive, but by slab-size it's a tad on the cheap side. With no features & depending on just where the rot is, I'd say that's a fair offer if they do all handling & transport.

    The above is just my opinion based on the prices I see locally... so now stand back and watch me get shot down in flames.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Is it dressed?

    I don't know if this helps but I paid $800 for 2 slabs of 3.8 m x 800 x 45 mm dressed slabs in 2002. They had maybe 50 small (mm sized) holes/cracks on each side that needed filling. It took a while but it was worth it

    I would expect your slab might be worth more but being in Esperance might limit your custom.

    Based on slab sales I'm aware of in Margaret River, that is a fair price.

    Some guy at the ASTRA awards listed the designer of his suit as Wanye Kerr...

    That guys seems to get around, though he must look like me, I seem to get mistaken for him a lot
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
