Mike, I'd guess you are talking about Woodsource in Ottawa. There's a
guy in Wakefield who will do that kind of thing as well. I don't
remember his prices, but I believe they are comparable to Woodsource.

Les entreprises Bizier inc.
20, Route 105, Wakefield Québec
J0X 3G0 Canada
819 459 1211 Fax : 819.459.1201

www.bizier.ca

The owner is Marc Bizier and is very approachable. It's worth knowing
other sources.

His shop is about 35 minutes from Rideau & King Edward.

For just that one board, another alternative is a hand saw. Before you
use the handsaw, though, set your tablesaw fence to the witdth you
want plus an appropriate amount for finishing/scraping/planing/sanding
or whatever methoud you use. Then groove the board all around
including the end grain sides. The table saw cuts will guid your
handsaw for a straight cut. You'll need to plain the surface even
since a handsaw cuts a much narrower kerf than a tablesaw.

I could, but it would ruin the effect of the spalting.

I know it's not real close, but Langevin & Forest in Montreal can cut just
about anything, as long as it's wood.

You could always glue the pieces back together.

I'm nowhere near you, but the typical recommendation for
this group is that you immediately go out and spend at
least $ 800 on a new bandsaw and practice on a bunch of
scrap for a while before... uh, what was it you wanted?

Mmmmm.. new tools.

SWMBO tends to disagree, however.

I guess I'll try the local exotic lumber yard, but it'll still prolly cost
me $25 for 2-3 cuts. Be a shame to rip it to 6" width to cut it on my own
saw. :(
