I found this old walnut listed in the "barter" section on Craigslist and wrote an email asking for a response. Well, the owner called me back and told me about it - he said he purchased it from a guy in need of money 2 years ago for $125.00. The seller told him it had been cut in Missouri 75 or so years ago and that he had brought it with him when he came to Arizona. I have no idea if any of that is true, but it makes for a good story. Anyway I ended up trading, among other things, an M-15 grenade launcher sight, an old brass doorknob, an old liquid nitrogen vessel, a Marshall practice amp that I had in high school, and $50.00 cash for the group you see here. 3 of the 6 planks are 80" x 14" x .875", 2 of the 6 are 80" x 11.5" x .875", and 1 of the 6 is 80" x 10.5" x 1.75". Just picked it all up yesterday. I put a 2x4 in the center of the edge pic for thickness reference.
