    Hi Floody, This billet is on hold till Monday for a forum member to decide if he is going to buy it, if not then I will decide if I will resaw the billet into drop tops.
    Then I will let you know the price.
    P.S. photo attached quilted high figured blackwood drop tops available.
    Cheers Bob
