Hello all,

I have decided to sell some of my stock of Big Leaf Maple. It has been air dried for at least 10 years. Right now at about 6% average.

Most have some type of figure. The widths are from about 8” to 15” and run from 6’ to 9’ lengths.

I am in the Sacramento area. I do not have a lumber yard. Just have a large amount of wood that I have collected through the years. The prices are from $2 to $5 per board foot. There is about 1200 BF in this stack. It is mostly full 1” thick stock. Some a bit thicker. Some natural edge.

Send me an email if you are interested. I am going to list this locally later this week. Thought I would offer this to any Lumberjocks who might want first picks. I prefer to sell a minimum of 50 BF. I will try to take and post some photos later on.

Thanks, John

I am also very busy right now and will only be able to deal with the wood in about a week and a half or more from now. Have Rabbet give me a call. I will send you my numbers. BTW, How’s the boat coming along? John -- Oldworld, Fair Oaks, Ca
robert triplett home \| projects \| blog 1309 posts in 1277 days #3 posted 1088 days ago	John, I have just made two trips to your area. One to visit a small mill near Zamora on Friday and the other to Colfax to get a dust collector today. I would like to get some of your wood. BUT, I have to see if another trip is possible. MY school is out on Friday!! Thanks for thinking of LJ’s first. Robert -- Robert, so much inspiration here, and so little time!
John Ormsby home \| projects \| blog 1238 posts in 1909 days #4 posted 1088 days ago	Robert, don’t worry about rushing to get back to the Sacto area. I have a few thousand BF of Big Leaf. Let me know what type of grain you might be interested in. I can set some aside. John -- Oldworld, Fair Oaks, Ca
FordMike home \| projects \| blog 155 posts in 1643 days #5 posted 1085 days ago	Do you have thicker slabs or turning blocks, mostly I’m interested in 12/4 to 16/4 to larger, with figure. I travel true the Sac area frequently, I’m in Santa Rosa, my adult kids are in Redding.Thanks FordMike
robert triplett home \| projects \| blog 1309 posts in 1277 days #6 posted 1081 days ago	John, I will probably be in your area after the 27th. I have a craft show that weekend and hopefully will be able to buy some more wood. I have gone through a lot (for me) of Maple making cutting boards. I am trying for a look with some good figure spread across the board with other woods mixed in with thin stripes. The figure I would like to get is a mid grade of curly or figured. Not too plain, but not what I would use for a nice box. I just did a board with some Cherry and Maple. Both had some nic grain to them. Robert -- Robert, so much inspiration here, and so little time!
