I talked with the boys at the sawmill and there only drying four quarter, and felt if I put them in the kiln they would crack because the moisture would come out to fast. so I will ship the blank to you U.P.S. if you can post pictures of it on this form and we will see what some of these guys opinions are on it. If and when they say it will make a good blank then you can pay me for the shipping. I will get it weighed and e-mail you back just to give you a idea on the cost from U.P.S. my e-mail [ lmetzger@watchtv.net ] it is 44 inches long 10 inches at the butt and 4 inches on the forarm by two and quarter thick. Thanks Bill
