Dan, I don’t have a price list because of 2 reasons. One most of the lumber I don’t use (or just stash) myself and am selling is spoken for by my “regular customers”. I have a waiting list at times ? My inventory changes too fast to keep my site updated, I don’t really stock your run of the mill lumber, so a standard price list is irrelevant anyway. I like it wide and figured, straight grain is not my thing. I do web business, but it is people contacting me looking for something in particular, some times I have it…other times not. The lumber sales are for the most part local or past contacts in certain crafts like guitar making and such. I am not here to sell anything, just be one of the guys.

Hello Daren;
—-and welcome!

I’m sorry I’ve not had much time to comment and ask questions of your working those logs, as I’ve been busy. I have been to your website and was impressed by what you are doing with wood and look forward to more of your treasured finds, and then….

Thank you.
GODSPEED,
Frank

This is a great article! I look forward to the rest of it. I always thought of finding stones that could be used as sharpening. When they used the term natural I assumed the stones were already naturally flat… I just learned something new today!!!
Thanks a lot

Daren,
If you’re a “hack woodworker” I’m ready to crawl under a rock.

Yup, I’ve got to agree with Doug.. If you do “hack” jobs, then all I’m doing is making firewood.
