I think he priced it at about $1/pound. ;-)

I was looking for a 16".
There was a 20" Oliver in Houston about 5-6 months ago, for about $2K. Th=
e guy said someone offered $1500. I thought about it for a few weeks, but=
was hesitant for one that large. I suppose I could have asked if he'd ta=
ke $1700 or $1800, if I had considered buying it. There's been a time or =
two when I thought to call and ask if it's still available.
It's been a while since I've posted: The cypress chairs are slow going. =
Hand hewing the parts is a lot harder and time consuming than I bargained =
for, but they are getting there. Using shaving horse, draw knives, scorps =
and chisels on dry/salvaged wood.... despite being cypress (generally soft =
wood), the carving is not nearly as easy as with green wood. I have 4 cha=
irs at about 75% complete. The fifth chair is essentially not started, ye=
t. They are heavy, so I've been trying to shave off as much bulk wood as p=
ossible.
I don't think I'll be doing another project as this, at least not multiple=
pieces in one project.... lots of work. But I wanted to do a project usi=
ng only hand tools. This kind of work is for younger folks. I'm liking=
the chairs, though. I think they'll turn out pretty good.

That is HEAVY! I think a large shop would almost be a requirement, you
are never going to want to move it once it has been placed.

I'm glad I could be of assistance. ;-)

I bought it and put it in my shop. It fits quite nicely:

Love the picture on page 4 of the pdf showing fingertips resting on the
"Circular Safety Cylinder" (cutting head). I'm sure it is safer than a
square head, but I don't think that picture would ever be published
these days.
