Tropical Exotic Hardwoods

During my recent trip to California and all the wood supply places I used to get my wood from I thought
I would take some pictures of one of my favorite places.

You can find them at:

If you are ever in Carlsbad, California, it's worth a look. He doesn't give the stuff away, but his prices
are better then some.

Enjoy!

This is their sign with some massive slabs behide it.

Here are some massive pieces of lumber. That shiny thing toward the right is my cell phone.
They are about 4 foot wide and 10 feet long.

Dan - I can't see anything yet, but I know that the light will turn on in my head soon enough.

I just can't pass up a fantastic piece of wood when I see it. I know I will never see it again if I don't

Thanks Gary for the tour and the link.

Now I just have to figure out how to get to California and back with sufficient wood to make it worthwhile with out Jenn noticing…LOL!

If anyone wants to meet up there in early April, I'll be there sometime the week of the 4th.
(it's 2 March 2011 now)

Which exact day is yet to be determined. I'll be driving down from the LA area.
