Magnificent neighbourhood Silver Maple

 In 2012, a massive Silver Maple tree needed to come down in our neighbourhood. The sawyer who milled it for me described it as a ‘once in a lifetime log’. It is full of curl, quilt and some birds eye thrown in for good measure. I had it sawn through and through into 9 slabs. They were stacked and stickered for 5 years under cover in an open sided drying barn and were moved into a drying kiln a few years ago. I am going to keep a couple of these, but have come to realize I have a serious wood sickness, and cannot possibly use all of these in my lifetime... so I am looking to sell a few of them. We are also in the midst of a car restoration project and a few of these would help fund it. 

These are located in Southern Ontario - near K-W, and given their size, pick-up only please.
