Just got this beautiful piece of wood shipped

[Bill Wyko]

I have a wonderful resource for beautifully figured woods that I buy from. When he gets really good stuff in he contacts me asap. This little gem was the pick of the litter. I'm thinking of building a Lowboy with it.

Too bad it's got all those funny lines through it. I would ask for your money back.

Yeah, what's up with that?




Sweet!

[Bill Wyko]

I know but if it doesn't go away I can always use it for firewood.:D

[joe Katzenberger]

If the freight company happens to mix AZ up with SC I will let you know. Very nice piece of wood to design around. Enjoy!

[george wilson]

Real nice to see that much curl on a flat cut piece of maple. The curl shows up best on quartered wood. Must be murder on any quartered boards that came from that tree!

[Paul Fitzgerald]

Holy moly! Where can I get some of that?

Alright, we're just jealous. That's pretty cool stuff! My grandfather was a Violin maker and I have some bookmatched fiddleback maple remnants of his. It's amazing stuff, I get it out every once in a while and look at it, then just put it back.

[Bill Wyko]

I'm the same way. I sit and stare at pieces of wood waiting for it to tell me what to do with it. My loft in my shop is loaded and my 16ft trailer is full too. I don't know why I keep buying more.:eek: I can't help myself. Here's a few pics of my last order from him and the loft.

Let's see...uh, I-5 down to I-8...yep, takes me right to Tucson!! :D :D

[Don Bullock]

Bill, that's some beautiful wood. If you have extra you know where you can send it.;):D

[Bill Wyko]

I hate to say this, but I have more than I'll ever know what to do with.:D This is a good thing.:D

[John Keeton]

Bill, just how much of this curly maple do you have! That lowboy would be beautiful - so when are you starting on it?

[Craig D Peltier]

I order from the same company. Heres my last piece.

[Leigh Betsch]

Nothin a little paint won't cover up.:rolleyes:

[Steve Schlumpf]

Bill - congrats on the wood - but it looks wrinkled! Maybe if you iron it.........

[Richard M. Wolfe]

Maybe if you were to soak it in some highly moisturizing lotion it might take all those funny looking wrinkles out.

[Dewey Torres]

So can one of you PM me this mystery company please. I am guessing it is against the TOS to post it:confused:

So you're the one that beat me to it.:D:D:D:D

[Mark Norman]

nice stuff!!

[Eric Sayre]

Bill, I can fix that lumber for you. I can sand those curly lines right out. Then send you back some perfectly straight-grained maple boards.....:D

Want my shipping address??

Great find!
Eric

[Bill Wyko]

You guys are killin me. The only way to get the wrinkles out is to get out the ol "Board stretcher" If you are a true woodworker, you've got to have an ol board stretcher around. I think they have them at Rockler.:D:D:D:D

[Bill Wyko]

You know if you fell for that and went to rocklers website, you have to own up to it. It's a coming to pass if you want to do woodwork. Oldest prank in the book.:D:D

[Gary Herrmann]

It's always tempting when those emails show up. Sometimes I'm too slow though.

[Carroll Courtney]

Bill,what ever you make please post some pics.Your projects are fabulous!Carroll

[Al Willits]

I hate you.......

I'd be afraid to even cut that stuff, probably just build a display case around it and stare at it.

Have fun...:D
