    Cocobolo for sale Second piece

    Selling a piece of cocobolo 4"x8"x20". Could get two 8" bowls and maybe two 4" bowls out of it. This piece of wood is over 4 bf. I was asking $45 per bf but I would take $150 for this piece. Online I saw a 3x6x6 piece going for over $100 so I think my price is reasonable. Roy G

    What is this wood?

    I have a stick of wood that I don't remember what it is. I have included some pictures of a sphere I turned out of the wood. The sphere is 2 5/8" in diameter with a weight of 6 ounces. That means the wood has a weight of about 68 pounds per cubic foot. And it's very hard but doesn't have a...

    Protest

    I have been informed that wood for sale has its own forum. This is arbitrary and not anything I expected. When something is for sale it should be lumped with all the for sale items. And wood for sale is not a forum I would necessarily visit. So now all my ads for cocobolo will be shunted...

    What is going on?

    I placed an ad for cocobolo for sale and it is not shown on the site. I see that it has been moved to another place that doesn't show up with all the other for sale ads. Can this be fixed or should I just go to FB Marketplace? Roy G

    Cocobolo

    It has become time to unload some cocobolo that I have been sitting on for years. So I said I don't know what a reasonable price for cocobolo is since it has been years since I bought the stuff. Looking on the internet I was astounded at all the different pricing schemes that various sellers...

    Going through a bunch of stuff in the closet and found a milk crate full of Wood magazines. These are the ones that started in the mid 80s. Also have the index for issues 1 to 103. Anyway, I have issues 1 through 50 and would like them to go to somebody who would use them. These magazines...

    Need for a cabinet maker

    I have a friend who knows a fellow who likes to rebuild old radios, like from the '20s and '30s or so. He would like to have a cabinet built for the radio chassis and I'm looking here to see if anyone is up to the challenge. This would be a fairly sizable cabinet to house the radio and...

    Wooden screen door situation

    I recently got a screen door at Home Depot. It was wood and made by Screen Tight. I measured and did my trimming and fitted the hinges and had to add an inch at the bottom because of the door sill design. Okay, I was going to paint it and notice some little dots on the horizontal divider...

    FWW comment

    As many of you know, Klingspor's has a box of free magazines by their entrance. I recently picked up a FWW from 2019 and read through it. Different from when I subscribed in the past. On a further visit I picked up some FWW from 2010. I was surprised to find an article on getting a board out...

    Question about Waterlox

    I have used Waterlox for years on furniture and bowls. I had to buy another can recently and needed to decide which kind to get. In the past I had used the Marine finish and was pleased with the results. Since I hadn't used any in awhile I went to the Waterlox site and read up on their...

    Too many chisels

    Looking through my tool cabinet, I was struck by the number of chisels I have. Unlike clamps, I believe I have too many chisels. The majority of them are Japanese which I got over the course of many years. Back in the '80s there was a lot of interest in Japanese woodworking and I jumped into...

    Question for the turners

    I was wondering if turners still do smaller items like pens and bottle stoppers. Seems like most of the turnings talked about are segmental or vessels. I am curious since I have a fairly large amount of holly that is of a size for smaller projects on the lathe. I was thinking to donate the...

    Shout out for Bloxygen

    I was using a can of Bloxygen and it wasn't working. I had used it 29 times and was upset that I had a quart of Waterlox that needed something to keep it from setting up in the can. I e-mailed the company and received a response that day. They said the can probably had a faulty valve and they...

    Wood for turning

    A few days ago there was a post about wood suitable for turning which I can't seem to find. One of the responses came from Mike Davis saying he could use some 2" and 3" stuff. I looked through my shed and found I had quite a few pieces of black walnut. Minimum thickness was 1 1/2" and it went...
