My son wants to make a sidegrain cutting board based on one he saw recently. He needs 3 strips of purpleheart 16 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide. I didn't ask him about the thickness but I would think it needs to be at least 3/4". He said he found some strips online that were close to those dimensions but would require further milling. They were over $10 each. I don't know what purpleheart sells for but that seemed steep.
So, what should he expect to pay for it and where can he find some? He's in Winterville but either one of us could go to Raleigh.
Or does anyone have some they'd be willing to part with?
