Wood Gloat: My Birdseye Maple "shorts" from young Mr. Raines in Ohio arrived today! :D Note that most of these "shorts" are 3 to 4+ feet long.

Bargain Gloat: These puppies cost me just a hair over $4.00 BF delivered to my home in Florida! :eek:

I prolly shouldn't have done this, but I got so excited I put just a touch of BLO on them so the figure would show up in the pics. :o

The three little pieces in this second pic represent the only appreciable waste in the lot, which I cut off a couple of the biggest boards.

Terrible wood with all those little specs in it.:D If you find they are a problem, I will take it off your hands. Seriously, I buy and sell wood all the time, Why don't I ever see bargins like this? Great haul.

This part might interest you Chris.

Shipping from Ohio to Florida was only $26 and change for about 23 BF via USPS Parcel Post.

I am glad that you like them. The photos make the boards look darker then they really are. And for the record....these were my extras!!...the next batched will not be that inexpensive!!!... :cool:

Tom found a great souce on sending shorts through USPS. That price was more then half some of the other places.
