Title: Goodwill finds for scrollers
Post by: KarlB on November 20, 2011, 06:05:14 pm

I was in Goodwill last evening and bought some things for use in scrolling:

The frames are 8 x 10 and 10 x 13 and were 99 cents each (two were 50% off.)  They are oak and will surround some fret work just fine.

The coasters were 1.99 and they are solid wood.

The wood platters were 1.99 to 2.99.  Not sure of the species, but the darker one looks like it could be teak.  One is from Japan (the one with the floral tile) and is probably from the 70's.  The long one is from Taiwan.  The dark one is from unknown.

I've been cutting some key chains recently and will probably mill these all to 1/4".  This will also work for ornaments.

Great finds.  You just never know what you will find or were you will find it.  Love browsing the charity shops.
