I was about to post a thread on the pay it forward section and offer a couple of pieces of very old English oak but then I thought about posting to the states from the UK and I have a worry that US customs would not allow it in and destroy it. Do any you have any experience of importing wood, perhaps for stabilising? Any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
The Oak is from a barn that was converted to a home, the barn was built in 1780 and by the look of the cross section of one of the beam ends I have it was over 200 years old when it was cut. The colour of the oak is very dark and it looks great in whatever plane it is cut and I would love to send some out to see what a pro knifemaker will make with it.
