Dodgy Blackwood going cheap!

Hi Folks,

A couple of years ago, when I knew even less about wood than I do now, I bought a pile of Blackwood from a bloke on Gumtree who'd cut it and dried it himself. Not very well, as it turns out!

So what I've ended up with is a bunch of slabs, over half of which are full of borer holes. The pieces in better nick are still probably not going to end up being a table top because they're not hugely thick, and have some cupping, bows etc.

If you have the need for some wood for some smaller projects, and some firewood, this could be perfect. I'm asking for $100 for someone to take the lot away.. and you must take all of it! Hopefully this is a bargain for the right person. If someone can pick it up today you'll get first dibs, because it's stinking up the entry to my house and I don't want to move it again.

By the way, there are 26 boards. They're all about 1800 long and 250-300 wide, and vary in thickness. The biggest stack in the photos is the ones I think are salvageable, and they're all 25-30mm thick, except for one that's about 40mm.

Please reply in this thread - first person to say "I'll take it today" is the winner!

PS I'm in Doncaster VIC, very close to the Eastern freeway.
