Old growth Cyprus
Gregg, where are you located? As a former manager of a large custom
cabinet manufacturer, I can put you in contact with a freind of mine who
owns Acadian Cypress and Hardwoods in Ponchatoula, Louisiana. His
company is one of the largest cypress importers and exporters in the
southern United States and 50,000 bf wouldn't be difficult for him to
handle. Are the boards straight or rounded? In other words have they
been cut in a barrel stave configuration? If you'de like me to give you
his name and # just let me know.

I've been lurking around this news group for awhile and gained quite a bit
of good information that helped me build my first boat.
There seems to be a lot of knowledgeable people here so I thought this might
be a good place to post this question.
I have a friend who purchased a building with old food processing tanks
(1920's) made from Cyprus.
The Cyprus boards are 12-13' long 6-10" wide and 2"-2.5" thick and perfectly
clear.
He has about 50,000 board feet and would like to sell it. I was looking for
any suggestions on where he could start (other than e-bay) and what the
(ball park) asking price should be.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gregg
