I Got Wood!!!

Hi All:

 

I figured that would get your attention After checking the recent post concerning "wood suppliers" I went to the "Handsome Woodman" to check out their selections. I chose three pieces that looked good for either scrollen or burning. A lot of times what you see advertised is not always what you get I received my order today and I was blown away The pieces were exactly as advertised. The grain and color was perfect The wood comes planed on both sides and will need only some light sanding for preperation for burning. The prices are great and the shipping costs were marginal considering it was shipped from Washington state to Connecticut. I would suggest checking them out.

I just added the website to my favories for future use. I took just a quick look and saw some neat wood for some of my future intarsia pieces. Thanks for the link

Those will make awesome projects. I can't wait to see what you come up with. Thanks for the recommendation. I like hearing experiences with various online vendors.

You got some real nice looking wood! Can't wait to see what you do with it. I don't live too far from them and they are just the nicest people. I love the way they show a picture of every piece of wood they have for sale.....you always know exactly what you're getting! I like to use the grain of the wood to enhance my cuttings. They like to receive a picture of any cuttings you do on their wood then they put it on their website. Here's one I did with spalted maple.

Hi Lady:

 

Yep...I was happy with these pieces. Now I have to come up with some ideas. I have a few on the burner. The tall ship you did was excellent. The trick is finding a theme that fits the wood. I'll study the wood again and wait for a revelation
