My Score!
« on: August 25, 2012, 11:41:45 am »
Got this real nice slab of red elm at my local sawmill today, kiln dried, 5/8". And only $12.00. My wheels are spinning in my head on what I can do with this. Will cut down into smaller pieces for the scroll saw.

Well Dan, That wood looks real crappy. Send it to me and I will get rid of it for you! I'll even pay postage! ::)


Actually, that is a very nice score. I can see all kinks of wonderful projects in that board!

You're so lucky over there, here in U.K. we'd pay 6 times that and the wood wouldn't look as nice either. - send it to me and I'm sure I can make a project or three out of it lol

WOW, a great buy I would say.  both price and wood are excellent!

always a tough question, which size is big/small enough in the future?

I want some, I want some, I want some, I want some, I want some,.  Only if I could be that lucky.  You must have a "in" with the milling people.  But I am glad you got it than someone else.  I am like Dan, send it my way and I'll pay the shipping plus throw in $10.00.  Got you beat this time Dan.

Well, this was the 1st time here to this mill, and only 25 minutes away from my house, you better bet I will be going back, It seemed like the irregular pieces were the ones he wanted to move, also shorts(less than 6ft) are 25% cheaper off the regular price, that's perfect for me, I asked if they were open all winter and he said yes. So I will be supplied all year at reasonable prices.
