Hey All,
New to the woodworking hobby and one of my customers came to be with an offer and I want to make sure that there is nothing about using this wood that I should be concerned about? I can imagine why but I figure it is better to ask now as opposed to later...
I own a wheel/tire store and one of my clients owns a hardwood flooring store. He has a variety of brand new, unfinished solid hardwood flooring boards that are leftovers from jobs etc that have been piling up. He said it is mostly cherry, walnut and maple with a bit of other stuff mixed in, totalling around 1100sf. All are full length flooring boards and most are 3/4" thick.
He is offering to trade all of it for a set of rims I can pick up for around $300/$400 bucks...
First off, is there anything about flooring specific wood (different grade or the like?) that makes it not very good for woodworking? As I said, all of it is brand new and completely unfinished...
Secondly, if usuable, is this a reasonable deal for this type of wood? Seems pretty cheap for these types of hardwood to me but I don't have a lot of experience buying yet...
Thanks for any input!
