i’ve been on net these past few days, hmmmm, i think for almost a week now… & what topic excites me most.. molave bonsais, molave art crafts, molave root”antique”crafts.. i just love it.. in fact i got a 3-piece set of molave last ammungan festival here in nueva vizcaya where rootcrafts were on sale, a collectors item i think coz the bunk length is around 2mtrs with the natural design curved on it… a piece holds 3-4 strong persons to carry it inside the house.. and yes if i were on your shoes i would do the same too… in fact nowadays we are on mountain trekking purposely for molave “hunting”, of course for the ‘DEAD’ ones…. you rightfully invested your cold cash 5,500.00 into “gold”.

Great Project! That looks like so much fun!

I hope you were (or will next time) let as many pieces as possible keep their ‘belly’ i.e. the round, outer part of the tree with bark. (like in picture 2063). To the right buyer those are worth much more than flat boards. Thanks for posting!

I was reading your post and I remember that I just bought a molave bonsai here at mabalacat pampanga. Do you have any posts about how to take care of bonsai? Thanks MM.

Wishing I could do that here in the US where we already pay a whopping price to have the tree cut down. I only managed to get 4 round slices of the trunk, not the best cut either, but manageable. Imagine if I had asked for longer ones!

Nice pieces of molave…you can make so many things out of them – table, bench, coasters, coffee table, etc. Molave is hard to find nowadays. Good find, MM.

MM, I agree with krishyne: the huge board can be used to display a whole Zubuchon!

Good deal on the wood/tree.

Just curious: what’s with the lechon being included in the deal? Haha! Funny, though.

Ron, not if it’s a DEAD tree. Not to mention at risk of damaging property if it falls over.
