Hey guys, am looking for some comments. Am considering importing
some Snakewood, some for my own use and some to sell, at $10 per
pound.
It would all be highly figured wood.
Although expensive, that seems to be a reasonable price given what's
out there.
Was thinking to sell it custom cut to size, whatever the buyer wants.
What do you think, is the wood too expensive or too much trouble
to be worth it?
Thanks for the feedback

$10 a pound is an unusal woodworking metric. You might confuse people if
you don't have an approximate equivalent BF estimate nearby.

Woods that rare are sold by the pound. See e.g.,

The only local yard that still has exotic woods sells most of them by
the board foot, but they sell Australian burls by the pound. One
online source for Snakewood charges by the piece and gives the
dimensions and weight--it works out to about $130 a board foot or more
than $20 a pound.
