Picking up some supplies :D

Went to get some wood to the only place remotely nearby that sells imported hardwoods -.-
Have to drive an hour and a half to get there, and through 2 cities with lots of annoying traffic lights :D

The wood is also quite expensive and the quality is questionable -.-
Either way its lots of fun to drool over all the stuff, piles and piles of veneer and all kinds of hardwood :D

Picture time!

A blurry and expensive piece of cocobolo, 98 euros -.- the little thing is as hard as rock and weights 3.2kg -.-

Some ebony:

And they got these boxes filled with small and very expensive exotic woods :D most of them are very dense and heavy -.-

More pieces n burls:

A picture of some of the veneer (under the covers):

A slab of masur birch, must be nearly 2 and a half meters long:

Piles of cheaper wood, these are all cutoffs n leftovers from people who didnt buy the entire boards, and as a result they are much cheaper, first place to look when buying wood :D the walnut i got there was like twice cheaper then a whole board, just cause it was sawn into 2 pieces :D

My loot, some bubinga, walnut and maple:

Atleast i hope i got maple, didnt remember what maple was in Finnish so i hope the guy showed me the right stuff ;P

As far as i could see all lumber is plain sawn, kinda hard to see though when the boards are kind of dirty and the end grain on most of them is sealed with a thick layer of some blue or yellow gunk ;P

Only other place i know that sells wood is only like 45 minutes or so away, but they ‘only’ sell domestic woods, although they got some nice slabs and are definitely more about the quality :D

The wood i bought is for 2 projects, that i wont have time to start on for another 2-3 months -.-
