Is this worth the time to put on ebay, or can someone here use it? Don't have much, just one rod about 1.5" D, maybe 3 feet long. If it's of any interest, I'll measure with a real stick...
thanks, bill

I've been wanting to try some bronze work of about that size, and would be delighted to have a piece to work with. email me with what you want for the material and shipping.

Unless you need the properties of this material, you'll be happier with something else. It's a nickel aluminum bronze, and unlike some other brasses and bronzes, no fun at all to work with.

for the particulars. Kind of a specialty material. Heavy too. Location is Escondido, Ca. 92027. Near San Diego if not familiar.
Hmm. It may be difficult to work but there's been several jobs where I wished I had a alloy like that. I'd be willing to take it if nobody else wants it.

I discovered that when looking at it's properties. Not the friendliest stuff in the world. Thanks for your offer and advice and I will respectfully retract my message of interest.
Tom,
I sent you an email, which bounced. Please reply to my email address (valid) if you want to discuss further.
