Hi Bruce...Good question of everyone. I'm getting to feel I'm back on the old Lumberjocks and with the same buddies!
I rarely buy wood unless I agree to a  project for which I don't have the wood.  I cannot turn down free wood. I have it stored in my barn- all sizes and all of the big stuff. I have a wood storage are under the  deck - just outside the shop- that has some of every thing. In that space at one time I had a rack for  Oak, Pine, Cedar and Walnut. Now there is also mesquite, Jarrah, sycamore, Osage orange, box elder, chestnut. Brazilian rosewood ,cherry,, hemlock, hickory, mahogany. white oak...and about 6 more that I can't remember their names. They tell me to pick them when I come looking for a piece for a new project. In Arizona I just built a small wood storage area next to my shed. I used to leave it is back of the park shop with my name on it but it still seemed to vanish!

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads!!!!!!!!!!..Cheers, Jim
