Kev Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I have a few small projects for my wife's quilting room and was running low on Walnut in the shop so, it was time for the great deal with my local dealer for stuff he couldn't sell.. He didn't have much this year.. And, his prices were pretty darn good on the Bubinga that he had so I couldn't resist.. Wide boards to boot! For the record..... Those 2 piles equaled exactly what I sold the old bandsaw for.. Kind of seems strange to essentially trade lumber for tools...lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 You either sold too low or price of lumber is getting out of hand. I thought of starting to build with syp but can’t afford a 2x4! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBSs has 2' and 3' small project lengths. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get Beetle Killed Pine with the cool colorations from my friend that has a sawmill, and I think I could get Doug Fir from him too, but I have a lot of BKP...
