Mahogany and QS Sycamore!

You got a good price vs what my local retailer charges. I would have to pay about $6.50 for the mahogany, and $4.00+ for the QS Sycamore. A good score, congrats.

Heck, 6.50 for mahogany, I got a quote for 14.99!

Not a steal but still a great bargain on some good looking wood.

looks good, but some commens from the Bolivian hardwood mill (me):
Just for your information; how do you know if it is mahogany? Here they export cambara (botanical name Erisma uncinatum) specie and sometimes another specie called sirari (botanical name Ormosia coarctata). Look it up on the internet (google images) and you will see these species.

Looks like a killer score to me Harvey. Im falling in deep lust over the sycamore. Congrats on the wife being pregnant too!

Great work for your first “real” lumber purchase. I made a few mistakes when first buying hardwoods.

Big congrats on the pregnancy. Our boy is almost four months old and it completely changed everything. Though I don’t nearly have the shop time I used to, it’s wonderful having the little guy around.

Are you building the crib from plans or creating your own design?

That Sycamore is awesome! I’ll ditto every one else and say Congrats on the wood score and the pregnancy.

I’m sitting here thinking about how you can sit with your child and talk about this preparation and this score and this project over the years and then someday share it with your grandchildren. Congratulations on this new stage of your life! Thrill to it daily.
