I have some questions to ask of the turners in this group.
First, a little background.....
I have a close friend who has just purchased the company he has worked at for the past 29 years. It's a wood import business that in the past has supplied vendors with moulding, wood flooring, and specialty architectural components.
Now that he owns the company, he would like to branch out into selling exotic woods for general/hobbyist woodworking. This is where he wants me to come in.
In one of our discussions I said that I wouldn't mind marketing wood to woodworking and turning groups. This would also include direct sales like the Woodworker's Classifieds (competition's a good thing, right guys?:rolleyes: ).
So, my questions are:
1. Are there any particular sizes of wood that would be most beneficial to you?
2. Are there any particular cuts of wood that would be most beneficial to you?
3. Is there anything in particular you would like to see in purchasing wood?
I will make note of all comments. I feel this is a good (small) opportunity for my friend and a good way to supplement my disability income.
