amboyna burl help

[cd18524]

I am looking to sell a couple pieces of wood to help fund a new toy. What is the going rate for amboyna burl per pound? Can anyone suggest a fair asking price for the following piece of amboyna? It measures 13.25" x 11.25" x 4.75" and weighs 25#.

I also have a smaller one that is 8" square by 4.25"

Thanks for any info and tips.
NOTE: This is not an ad for these pieces. I am seeking advice on this topic. When I decide on a price I will post them in the correct forum.

Chris, I would check this site: http://gilmerwood.com/

Of course the site is rather high priced, but they do have larger pieces of very high quality wood. This could perhaps give you an idea of where to start.

FWIW,

10-12 I think is a good price for resale, of course you can find it for 20 and sometimes lower than the 10

I am of the understanding that there are several "grades" of burl and they are usually priced accordingly. Does anyone know of these ratings?

I have seen amboyna priced from $8 to $20 per pound but don't know if these ratings are used or the fluctuations are just from one vendor to another.
