    Talked to Hal -- not sure how his plans vary from someone of the others. Longest piece was 42" seat is around 21" wide. The bubinga lumber I got was all 6' in length and most was nearly 11" wide so...

  5. Rough lumber -- any way to check in the rough?

    A local supplier has some 8/4 Bubinga on closeout due to the boards being short (4-4 1/2'). I'm building a Maloof rocker, probably Hal Taylor's and think the bubinga would be great for that.

    Well, I can't see any available in 8/4 and it looks to be pretty oily. For a rocker, that get a lot of repeated loading, I would want to make sure that all the joints are trouble-free. After having...
