I was recently gifted with a board of bubinga and have recently been wondering the value of this wood species is. The board measures 85.5 inches in length, with a with that varies from 5 in. down to 4 inches, with a thickness of 2 inches. The wood is a dark red color containing vibrant swirls. Does any of you wood experts know what the potential value of this wood is? Thanks

Thanks for the input. The board itself is not twisted, the grain just has some cool looking swirls. Thanks

This face isn't too exciting (or I am just spoiled). :) Show us a side view, of the thickness. There might be some real nice figure in those faces. I see slices of that quarter sawn at the wood boutiques that go for a mint. If you live in Ohio, look up Gerstner and sons. They're making some tool totes and such from bubinga. If you're just looking to unload it, depending on that side view and the buyer, the price is going to vary wildly.

Ok, so here is a side view of the thickness. Also, sorry if I didn't make it clear, but as of now i'm more looking to find the value of the board (rather than selling it) so I can know how to price the future projects I build out of it. Also, in reply to Dark_Lightning, Gerstner and Sons sure makes some cool tool chests! Thanks for all the advice I really appreciate it!!!
