Craig's List find - Free Lumber! Pick it up at the curb...
I found a posting in the 'Free' section of Craig's List for some scrap wood piled up next to the curb. It was on a street just a few streets over from where I live. So… I ran over and this is what I found on the curb…
And here's more of it loaded in my truck…
And a closeup of the mesquite…
Here's a closeup of the maple burl I found in the pile…
It's the best Craig's List score I've ever found! Only one problem, it's not even close to April 1st… and I can't wait till then to post an April Fool joke. No, I didn't find this great looking wood in a free Craig's List posting. (I do look several times a day in case a deal like this does come along.)
A customer who's ordered several gunstocks visited and dropped off the wood to use for the next batch of gunstocks. I can't decide which would look better, the quilted maple laminated with bicote or the quilted maple laminated with the zircote? The olive burl is especially fantastic! I strained a muscle moving the chunk of Texas Ebony to my wood storage room.
