My old golfing partner called me last week and ask me if I wanted some wood as he was cleaning out a shed to make room for storage. If I did he would bring it right over so I ok.

Eddie showed up with the back of his pickup filled with walnut.:eek: :D There ended up being just about 400 BF of it and most of the boards are up to 14" wide and the smallest being 7" wide. The one standing on edge to hold up the small ones is an 11" wide by 2" thick board. And there is only one board that has any knots that I will have to cut around.:rolleyes:

Eddie even stuck around long enough to help my build and install the supports for the extra rack on the bottom and stack it up for me.:D And it only cost me a cup of coffee.:D

Thanks for looking.
