    Default Value of Sequoia

    Hi woodworkers,
    As payment for a job, I was given some Sequoia boards which i was going to make a dining table from.
    I dont have enough room (or time to be realistic) to attempt such a project and i cant store it, so the timber has to go.
    The trouble is im not sure about a "fair price" to ask.
    Boards were air dried and finished (albeit a bit roughly), and are 21 mm thick.
    a few are a bit knotty but most are have reasonable grain .
    1 at 195mm width and 1250mm length
    3 at 180mm width and 2100mm length
    1 at 180mm width and 2200mm length
    1 at 180mm width and 2000mm length
    1 at 165mm width and 2100mm length
    1 at 165mm width and 2000mm length
    1 at 165mm width and 1500mm length
    1 at 160mm width and 1500mm length
    1 at 135mm width and 1700mm length
    Various smaller bits.

    Attached are some photos.

    Any help on what i should price the lot at would be greatly appreciated.

    Jamie

    Hi there Rossco,
    Yes it was locally grown, and yes i too wish they had left it in the ground for a few more centuries.
    But hopefully it will become something special.
