Curious about people's thoughts.

I've got to discuss some sales with a guitar maker and custom furniture builder for figured wood.

Also, I can currently cut 16'+ beams and could get another section of track to be able to cut 20'.

I've been pouring through other wood and live edge retailers, came up with a price. Of course add more for figured or distinctive pieces. I price high, local people seem to want to haggle, where out of towners will pay. I've had some dealings with instrument makers, around my parts they want a good quantity and are always after opposite of what I have. They seem to want more processed pieces, cut down and planed, but that is hard for me to cut dry slabs in hopes they will buy. Unfortunately another trait locally seems to be "I want it now, like right this second"
