While I was there, the owner sold me 12 pallets of hardwood. I brought home the first three today. 8/4 soft maple (ambrosia), 8/4 cherry and 8/4 walnut. Once I get it unloaded, I'll have plenty to share.  | |

I am close and drooling, I would be most happy to help in the hauling, and most happy to purchase some. Ambrosia is music to my ears!!

Just PM me if you want some Tracy. The boards range in length from 1.5' to 4'. All of this load is 8/4. There are some glued up pieces (table leg blanks, I think) and some small butcher block sections too. Don't know what all I have yet.
ps: I lost a few pieces on I-85 on the way home. Some of the shrink wrap came loose. Scared the heck out of me. | |

Steve,
quite the haul,You can never have too many clamps .Looked at the Trinity Auction but could not get away from work to check it out.More and more people are finding out about the auctions and the prices are rising.I'm also close so if you decide to part with some of that 8/4 I also would be interested. | |

Steve -- Our Western NC Woodworkers could use some of the 8/4 clear maple and 8/4 cherry if you're willing to contribute some for our Toys for Kids project -- we're hoping to make 1,000 toys this year for disadvantaged kids in the Asheville area. If push comes to shove, we can pay for it, too.

Rob,
I'd be glad to donate some for that worthy cause. Let me know what you need (sizes) and I'll see what I can do. I can bring it on the 27th. | |

Steve, I am interested in some of the short pieces. I gotta get practice on handcut dovetails, and softwoods don't cut it (pun intended). Who am I kiddin'  , at 4', and less, they are all short pieces.
8/4 will let me get some time in with my jointer, planer, and DC w/my home-spun cyclone (pun intended).

Steve,
If possible I'd like to purchuse a couple of pieces also. Maybe some walnut, cherry and ambrosia in 8/4 and 6 to 8 inch width to cut up into bowl blanks. Let me know what you want, your just up the road from me.
James

I will be picking up the other pallets next week. The walnut and cherry are in very short supply but I will have tons of maple. Only maple is available. So far, I've seen lots of ambrosia and some clear. There are very few boards over 4" wide. It was cut for furniture that was never made. Most of the boards are 2' long or shorter. I will take pics of the wood (instead of the pallets) as soon as I get it home and get a feel for what's there. I will have hundreds of board feet for sale very cheap. | |

Steve, the 4" width is good for my use. Maple will be dandy, thought my favorite species is "free"

Steve, if I am reading this correctly this sounds as if it would be good for bandsaw boxes and cutting boards. Am I correct? If so I would be interested. | |
