Any interest in birch shield blanks?

Just wondering if there's any interest in pre-curved rectangular shield blanks made from 2 layers of 1/4" birch plywood, 24" by 48". I'm building a shield press (I need a new shield) and might make some extras if there's a demand. I was thinking around $45 plus shipping.
Would anybody want one?

Are you just offering the rectangles or are you offering shapes?

Just uncut blanks for $45. I could cut shapes for a few bucks more, I suppose.

I'm waiting for a shield to be finished as we speak, but spares are always nice... Let me talk to my minister of finance... (the wife)

Hi
I know it will probably be stupidly expensive but I was just wondering how much to ship it to Perth Western Australia 6024.
Would it make a difference to postage if it was cut down to 32"?
Thanks mate.

I would be interested in two and would happily pay more if you were to cut them to a different shape.

Ok- I'll build a press and do a run of these.

About $300! That's the average between USPS and UPS.

Ahhh wow that is EXTREMELY a bit too stupidly expensive.
Thanks for looking into it for me anyway.

I'm planning to build a press this week- hopefully I'll have the first couple blanks done by next weekend.
