The Sample Board Gets an Upgrade

We finally had time to add about 30 new species to our sample board at the front of the shop.

It always amazes us how unique some of these exotic species are.

Got to love wood!

Neat piece of Ziricote!

While we were pulling an order for a customer, we came across this unique looking piece.

We decided to run it through the thickness planer to check out the figure and we were definitely not disappointed!

1" (thickness planed to 7/8") x 4" x 36"-$50.00

Give us a call if you would like to snag it or you can drop by the shop and check it out in person (sitting in the front showroom)

More Highly Figured Bocote for the Online Store!

Taking pictures of these beautiful pieces as we speak. Should have them online by today or tomorrow.

Really neat looking stuff thus time around!

7 piece bookmatched set of cocobolo!

Just finished surfacing all these pretty boards.

7 piece flitch (1 piece not shown in the picture)

We are still brainstorming what we would do with these pieces-tables, cabinets doors, musical instruments...

At nearly 9 inches wide and 48 inches long a piece, the possibilities are endless.!

How would you guys utilize them?

Just refilled the exotic "off-cuts" bin!

If you are interested in our exotic wood "cut-offs", today would be great time to drop by the shop.

We just dumped another two garbage bins full of exotics into the crate.

If we had more time we would probably be cleaning most of the pieces up into first quality stock. We need to clear up some space in the back asap, so our loss is your gain!

$2.50/lbs
$1.50/lbs (50 lbs or more)

Want the whole crate?
Make us an offer!

A Few More Pieces of Highly Figured Bocote

Here are some pretty pieces we just found!

10 new Parota Crotch Slabs!

We just added these new slabs to the "slabs page" of our website.

5 of them are 96" long and roughly 50-60" wide (perfect for a dining table)
Click here to see these in Parota slab batch #2 (look for numbers 390-394)



The remaining pieces are longer than 10 feet and come in an assortment of widths
Click here to see these longer slabs in Parota slab batch #3 (look for numbers 395-399)

Obviously these longer slabs would look great by themselves at full length, but they can also be cut down with enough material per slab for a top and base (that way you get matching material throughout the entire piece)



Overall, we are very happy with these new slabs. Great dimensions, fantastic color/grain and they all seasoned quite nicely down at our sawmill in Mexico after they were cut (so they are pretty much ready to be worked).

Feel free to call us if any of the above slabs catch your eye.

Highly Figured Cocobolo Knife Handle

Neat piece by one of our customers.

For our available bundles of Highly Figured Cocobolo squares, click here.

Look at what we found hiding in the back!

How did we miss these?

Amboyna Burl-Bone dry 10 year old stock!

Pretty stuff!

Hand Selected Swiss Steamed Pear!

This may be of interest to many of you-

A good customer of ours purchased about 500 BF of select grade Swiss Steamed Pear a while back for a project.

To make a long story short, he purchased more than he needed so he offered roughly 150 BF back to us.

Since we are wood nuts just like the rest of you, we just couldn't say no to this great looking, hand-selected stock!

Swiss pear is hard enough to find let alone with great figure and in fantastic dimensions (did we mention most of it has mottled/curly figure-yeah this stuff is nice!)

Also in the stack are about a dozen quartered to rift sawn pieces he had set aside for legs (see last picture below) Beautiful vertical grain material that can be resawn for guitar bodies, veneer, furniture, etc.


This is some pretty stock that is a steal at $14.50/BF (Mostly all 8/4 material)
