Brazilian Rosewood question

How much is Brazilian Rosewood worth currently? I'm talking about a small stash from the 30's, five to six boards (measurements are guesses at this point, 8-10' long,5/4" thick and probably 18" wide)
Thanks.

Good one, Tom:salude

A friend of mine has a small old stash that he wants to see put to good use. I have no interest in it but I would like to give him an idea of what it's worth should he decide to include it in his next garage sale.

I would think a great deal,
but I cannot give you a price.

provided its crack free,

wide enough for any application,
including backs

from the 30s. could be simply magnificent figuring and color
very exciting

I guess the wood is in Germany, right ?
If it´s there or in Europe, please contact me.

In an above board sale, the wood would require permits, and the permits
would require documentation. (A Pre-Ban Certification, and a Chain of Custody)
Without permits, the wood isn’t legal to sell. Private Luthiers might still be
interested in undocumented wood, but I doubt it is going to fetch the same
as Documented wood.
