Not sure where to post this at.
If your within driving distance of Keim Lumber, Charm Ohio they have stacks of the Jet brand 4" black 10 foot long dust collection hoses for $9.99

Probably the largest selection of exotic woods as well that I have seen.
I seen some Black Palm, which is quite interesting wood. The fibers?? or more like porcupine needles, grow throughout the wood and you can feel them sticking out. I see they use these for pen blanks etc. Ive never seen anything made with this, and it seems like a brittle wood that would be difficult to work with. Anyone have any experience with this?

The other new one for me was the Banksia Nuts. Looks like these can be turned into nice looking objects. I didn't buy any, but I think next time I might give it a go.
