Cedar Post part 1

Starting a new project. This is a cedar post from near the Frio River in Southwest Texas. It is said to have a history of nearly 200 years. I will try to get a Native American face carved in it, between the cracks and knots. Just starting to get it placed and sized to my liking.

Also are you located very close to Georgia?

I was wondering if you were able to get the price on the wood for the Santa rough out . Regards, James

[@maloneartworks5912]

It's been one delay after another. The wood is supposed to be on the way and the invoice in with the wood. Should be soon. I hope. I know it's taking longer than it should. Sorry

[@JamesHeagle]

Thank you for getting back to me. I am still interested. Should we consider basswood?

[@maloneartworks5912]

Finally got the wood prices and they are high! Getting a solid piece that size cost more than I expected. For me to do a basswood rough out would be around $120 and butternut would be around $150. Plus shipping cost. Shipping to me was over $3 a board foot.

@@maloneartworks5912 thank you for letting me know. Yes i would like to do the butternut if you are still willing to do it. How can I get the final money amount to you ? Regards, James

[@JamesHeagle]

I am still very interested in buying the butternut roughout from you

[@maloneartworks5912]

@@JamesHeagle I have the rough out finished. I will post it on Etsy and send you a link if that will work. That way you can see it and know what the shipping and total cost will be.

What is your etsy account?

I found it! I would love to have it but the shipping cost is way too much ! I don’t understand it because i ship carvings all the time and its never this expensive! Thank you for your time and effort! I must say that I am very disappointed!! 0:37
