I got tipped off by my son, who is a sales rep for a lumber mill, that they where going to get rid of their "exotic" lumber. Seems that the boss has a hard time passing up a great deal. He has 18 containers of red oak flooring comming in and nowhere to put it. Guess he got a great price. Any way I got to the mill nice and early this morning, and scored bigtime. He had 4 bundles of wood for sale at $200 a bundle. I got the biggest one. turns out there was about 500 board feet of various type of wood. Cocobolo, Birdseye Maple, Birch, Mahagony, Walnut, Bubinga,Canarywood,Ipe, and a couple of others I havn't figured out yet. Nothing under 7'. Some of the best stuff was
12 footers. About 15 8/4 and rest 4/4. All S2S. Needless to say I'm a happy camper. Unfortunatly(or fortunatly some) I'm just starting to learn about woodworking, so some of this will be resold. I'd post some pictures, but the last time I did, I got nothing but flack about the format,or some crap, that some people couldn't see them. So take a look at- posted
