Comedy update:

After waiting 3 weeks for the 4 day shipping service from the US to russia for the piece of maple, they bookmatched it and found it to be rotten in the middle. So, thats several hundred dollars...and at least a month lost..

isn't that rot insured or something because it's technically the fault of the seller...

Spalt insurance?

You know, if wood distributors had to XRAY every single board, then the price of lumber would be ten times as high as it is already. I closely examined that billet myself, and there is absolutely NO hint of rot on the outside... but when Pavel bookmatched it - we found a big line of spalt in the dead center of the board!

It will be interesting to see what Jon's wood supplier tells him, but really i think that 'force majeur' would consider it as 'an act of nature'...

No luck with the seller. I didn't expect anything, as you said, he wasn't to know. He offered to sell me another piece at cost, which was more than he needed to do. I have no bad feelings towards him. Just one of those things.
