An acquaintance of mine has offered me a wood plank approx. 7ft x 8" x 3"
He said that he bought it in Mexico many years ago. He said it is called Madera. I can’t find that name anywhere on line even trying various spellings. I have to drive a good distance to pick this up so I was trying to figure out if it was worth my time. Does anyone have any clues about what the name might be, something close to Madera or a spanish translation. I will probably go get it just out of curiosity, but I was hoping for a clue.
Stick,
Thank you so much for the info. The last btw is by far the most explanatory. The guy that is giving me the wood very likely bought a nice looking piece in Mexico and misunderstood when the salesperson called it madera. This is really really funny if you knew the person involved. I now no longer care what type of wood it really is, the story has made it priceless.
Thanks again,
Bill
