I mean I like the red colored wood.

[-] original2@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Redheart, by far the most pricey of the 3

800-ish?

[-] original2@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

800 what? It was an offcut of a much larger piece.

[-] Kneew@lemy.lol 1 points 9 months ago

I was just wondering about how much these would go for.

[-] original2@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I would sell them for about £35 (im British) but if I were in to use a fancier mechanism and a burl wood then it could go into the hundreds

Could redwood be used?

[-] original2@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Yes, but i have some offcuts from bigger projects

never heard of red heart. is that the same as paduk?

[-] original2@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

nope. It looks far richer in person, paduk is more orangey.

[-] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 1 points 9 months ago

Well my second favorite is the dark wood.
