North Woods

Hi ALL,

I ran into this on a C'list add.

I will eventually check it out and add to this. For now this is all the information that I have.

I know some of the woods they lsit re very attractive!

New Stock of Myrtle, Buckeye Burl, Madrone, Black Locust Burl, Honey Locust, Wild Cherry, plus the usual Maple, and Black Walnut!
show contact info 503-threefiveseven-9953

We'd love to have you come visit our small family farm where we've created an alternative to the usual uses for wood.

We reclaim/upcycle figured hardwoods (saved from the chipper!) and create wood blocks and lumber for turners, carvers, furniture makers and other crafts people. http://www.nwfiguredwoods.com/

We'll have our friend Mike Meredith do a wood turning demonstration on the lathe on Saturday and Tom Hastings, another excellent teacher, doing a demo on Sunday.

Meet "Lucille", the fifteen hundred pound poodle burl totem pole, and learn about figured wood. Family friendly!

North Woods - Figured Wood
56752 SW Sain Creek Rd Gaston Or 97119

http://www.nwfiguredwoods.com/ is the web url

Hope this information helps someone.

I have visited NW figured woods on multiple occasions and all I can say is WOW. Even though I am a woodturner on a budget they made me feel like I was home. NW figured woods is about an hour outside of Portland O.R. (U.S.A) and 1/2 hour from where I live. Not only do they have BEAUTIFUL slabs from the PNW they also have a ton of smaller peices like pen blanks and cut offs by the pound (!).My wife and I went there this afternoon to visit them at their Open House event One of the guys there (I wish I could remember his name) asked us what we where looking for and then continued to show us around their shop for about 30 minutes or so. There where plenty of slabs, 3/4"x3/4"x5" bundles, bowl turning blanks, and other sizes available. I have got to say that being at NW Figured Woods makes me feel like I am a kid in a candy shop. We left after spending a few dollars (and I DO mean a few) with 12 spalted maple blanks, 2# of cutoffs, and 6 soft spalted alder blanks (which I have to stabilize tommorrow) for under $30! I love this place! P.S. I do not work for NW Figured wood :)

Free applewood Piece

Vertebrate Natural material Wood Plant Trunk


I Want to see it used-not burned!
Any one close that wants this unique piece of apple wood for a project! I will happily give it to you! (Aloha OR-Hillsboro, Beaverton etc.) I think it is to neat to just become firewood. It is still green.

I do want to see the completed project eventually though!

Sorry picture went sideways. the piece is about 7-1/2 in diameter at the larger branch-the "leg" is about 4" in and the height is about 18 inches.

That is way too cool to burn! Hope you find a taker, RJ. Wish I lived closer (sigh).
