Popular Post Tallbald Posted January 10, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) A dear friend of mine builds lots of boxes and furniture. For years he's gifted me his offcuts and scraps. Mixed cherry, hard maple, mahogany, black walnut, a bit of oak and a few bits of poplar. All air and kiln dried. With a 15 month old grandson I see airplanes, animal pull toys and puzzles in his future emanating forth from Penny's and my shop. Chuck (the gift giver) refuses any payment. Both my Beloved Ms. Penny and I will use this sorted stack for many things together. Wanted to share my joy. My best to all here!

Tallbald Posted January 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Chuck is a wonderful long-time friend. Hefting the hard maple, I believe that will be my preferred wood for toys. Don OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Whenever I take a drive out to Cherokee Wood Products, I always come away with a couple of boxes with cutoffs that they would otherwise put through the shredder. I've got some very nice "scraps" of purple heart and other woods that I can't identify. Great place to buy from. scrollingforsanity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is a nice yard. And the young guy who runs their online store, Chris, is so nice to work with. If I ask him for a special thickness that they don't usually offer, he adds it to the list for the planer shop when they have time. They don't offer anything in 3/8" but one of my patterns calls for 3/8" walnut. So, I ordered a 6 ft x 12" piece from them. Now I have plenty for a long while. Great people to deal with and their prices are so reasonable. They have a special section for scroll saw wood. Cherokeewood.com. scrollingforsanity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
