Awesome wood find (Yes, a bit of a brag) but, Wood for sale?

Great score! Looks like some really nice stuff.
Congrats.

If we were a little closer, I would offer to swap the use of my planer for a few of the boards, but the price of
gas eliminates any idea of too much traveling. Looks like you have quite a bit of good wood for a few projects.

Didn’t you do well. Could that mystery board be alder?

It’s now official, YOU SUCK! :) and I’m jealous. LOL

Pretty wood can only mean beautiful projects.

Lucky Dawg : ) That Cherry looks so nice !

Thanks! Going to plane down a few boards and square them up by hand this week to see how the rest of the stuff looks (Im curious about how good the maple will be.)

You are one lucky LJ but you need to learn to gloat properly.

First is pre-gloat – brag about the find.
Second is GLOAT – really loudly (just a teaser pic).
Third is post-gloat – lots of pictures.

This isn’t a gloat…. it’s a confession to HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

Please do the right thing and turn yourself in to the authorities.

P.S. Leave the lumber where your LJ friends can find it while you’re doing time. :-)

CharlieM1958: I did actually feel bad about only paying $100, tho, he did say that he had one person come to check it out that offered in $50 take it or leave it. He told the guy to walk… could you imagine missing out on that for the sake of $50??

Wow…. that guy who walked away must have swum ashore from the shallow end of the gene pool.

LOL, i’d say you’re on the mark with that

That was a great find! I always feel bad too, but in those situations, you’re really “helping” someone. Sounds crazy, but I had a similar experience. It wasn’t nearly as good as this find, but there was about 30 BF of rosewood and some cocobolo and quite a bit of 8/4 cherry. The guy’s friend had passed, and he was helping the man’s wife sell stuff. He asked for $175. I told him it was worth way more and offered to pay more and the guy said that the lady just wanted closure, she didn’t care about the money.

So, it really is a win/win.

A good find with a super price.
