Ok, I did manage to find two good sellers on ebathat auction site… mollyb is good . Now I realized I really should have asked here a long time ago. I bought from about 7 sellers, and 50% is wet. Not dried so well and I end up losing a lot of wood planing ,straitening,clamping, sanding etc…, I’ve learned to look for kiln dried or to get feedback from other buyers. I know Tom here has a saw mill in oregon I think , I liked his site when I looked. I would like to hear what you all have to say about this. I usually buy wide boards aprox 60”x9”x1”w (aprox) . I have a couple how scavenges for OldGrowth red wood burl roots in northern California and got three GREAT pieces from them… But really want another seller for cabinetry and furniture projects. I am in Brooklyn so lately I have been relying on the mail , rather than driving around lumber hunting.. Well Thank you for any tips or advice on this subject . Happy woodworkin’ Your friend in wood , Patrick. p.s. I do believe I need a book about moister meters and learning a bit more about how wood is stored and dried… any good books that you’d recommend? -- PJM.`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸ ><((((º> why's there a light in fridge and not the freezer? , aka, the wood hunter.aka tigermaple5 |
