Anything is only worth as much as you are prepared to pay for it.
Whenever I have had "second chance offers" on e-bay,they have been for the amount of my original highest bid,not some higher figure.
Postage won't be cheap,either.
So it's up to you,but personally,no.

At best you will only get two panels 7"x30" By the time they have been squared up and I would preefer the grain running more length ways than diagonally.

Also not happy with the dark area (bark inclusion?) towards the bottom.

And there is always a risk of soft spots that will make the timber useless so would want to see it in the flesh. Is it green, air or kiln dried?

As to weather the wood is worth it all depends on what you want to pay and how good it will look as panels on that Krenov cabinet you have been wanting to make :wink:

Too risky buying that kind of stuff without physically checking it out first I think, especially at that price which must be the top end of what it is worth even if it is all good and useable.

Check out the sellers feedback also, only 75% positive !

Wouldn't touch it myself.

Cheers, Paul. :D
