Attached are pictures of 2 batches of about 10 pounds of boxwood (Buxus sempervirens) that was milled in quartersawn fashion from larger pieces I obtained about 5 years ago. One picture shows sheets that are about 2" in width. They range in thickness but are around 1/4" in thickness (no thicker). They do contain various imperfections but there is lots of usable straight grain wood. Length range is 12-18".

 

The other picture from the same batch shows additional sheets that are 1/4" in thickness but not as wide as these, averaging 1"-1.5". This is again a batch weighing about 10 lb, again with various imperfections but plenty of usable straight grain wood. In the case of either batch, there is plenty of wood for working out frames for your admiralty-style model.

 

Let me know if you are interested, and we can start a conversation offline!
