Wow, that's a pretty impressive wood pre-gloat. 8-O
You may want to check out his Festool and other machinery while you're there. Of course, you'll need to stop by Woodworker's Supply, too. :lol:
The 8/4 hard maple Wall had on hand when I shopped there was 9 and 10 ft lengths. It took me a while to find widths I needed in pretty straight pieces.
The stock feeder and Fuji deserve belated suckage!

What am I going to buy at Wall lumber? Let's see.....
100 BF of log run Cherry plus another 50 BF of good cherry
100 BF of his packs of Mahogany plus another 50 BF of wider and longer stuff
100 BF of 8/4 hard maple
40 BF of 4/4 hard maple
4 sheets of 1/2 baltic birch
4 sheets of 1/4 baltic birch
3 sheets of 3/4 baltic birch
2 sheets of shop grade birch ply
I want to go to Kyle's and get some purpleheart as well, but dread the trip considering I am going to Wall.
Primary reason I am buying the plywood is I have become totally disgusted with the plywood at the BORG. All of the hardwood plywood and luaun is now garbage. It warps so bad it is miserable to work with. I am finally wrapping up the 2 playhouses and want to get back to doing shop stuff. I want to get back to working on a chair, building a new bench with cabinets, and a few more things for my girls. I don't go to Wall much, but try to stock up when I go.
As far as the tool itch, I succumbed to it some. Got a new Fuji Q4 4 stage turbine with all the accessories. I think it is going to be quite sweet. Broke down and got a 1/4 HP power feeder. That thing is amazing. If you ever need to run a bunch of molding or anything, haul it over and we will cut it. I ran about 300 ft of ogee molding (playhouses) through it and it was all perfect.
