Popular Post Rockytime Posted December 15, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 I am fortunate to have a neighbor who has a business that builds exotic things for very high end houses. The make curved staircases, arches and other things. His dumpster is full of various hardwoods. He brought me an armload yesterday.

Scrappile Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Lucky you, for sure. You should use some of it to make the giver a little something, to thank him. Let him see what you can do with it. SCROLLSAW703 and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neal560sl Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) That is a nice batch. Isn't it great to get bunches of free lumber like that. I have a nephew who works at a local sawmill who just found out that I can use short 1' to 1.5' pieces so he is getting me the cut offs of the lumber after it has been dried and graded. I use the maple he gets me for all my ornaments. Edited December 20, 2018 by neal560sl it was saying inch instead of feet SCROLLSAW703 and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
