The joys of buying Rough lumber

1996

I love rough lumber. The surprises and opportunities to get figure that normally you would not see. Most gets turned into expensive veneer. Just the start in my new pile but it is a good
start.

I did not put lumber types. Thought maybe you could guess. If you saw them elsewhere, please wait to ID.

Stunning. Choose your project for it wisely.

It is alway a joy planing wood, and when you discover a figure it’s just fantastic.

3 different pieces of wood. Redwood is not it.

Thanks Thorreain for your guess. Lots of views but no guess’s. The type of woods. Are walnut- walnut and walnut.

I have never seen walnut in person. Let alone used it or seen anything made from it. It the down size to where I live, not much choice in wood.

Just looked where you are from. probably limited supply of wood I see there. Bet there is some great fishing though!!!

Yes the fishing is awesome, and the whole island is a beach. My son in law is a lobster fisherman and tuna too. Lots of lobster in the summer.
