That’s a heck of a start! Congrats.

I love my Mnandi (thuya burl) enough to have ordered a second (box elder burl) that should be about six months out now. I’ve wanted a box elder Mnandi for decades and finally pulled the trigger about 18 months ago as a 60th birthday present. I think the wait then was about two years.

Wait time on these are nuts right now (six years as I write this). I just put in for two (ebony and bog oak) as a retirement gift.

Link did not come thru with your post...hard to sell as in it was hard/difficult on you personally to sell?

But WOW these are 5 WONDERFUL Mammoth Mandi's at the photobucket link. The brown mammoth bark one is amazing

The Mnandi is the perfect side kick for the Zaan.

Sometimes I regret not getting a CF Mnandi when they were always in stock and $400.

I’ll keep an eye out for you. Every now and then I run across one.
