A buddy and I traveled up to Griffin , GA. yesterday and visited a little store called thewoodyard ( .com ) and I pickup up a nice pile , and so did my friend. He purchased ambrosia maple, bloodwood, purpleheart, honduran mahogany, and some tiger maple.
But I didnt take pictures of what he bought, just what I got. I bought Sapele ( 6/4 , for a hope chest project coming soon ) which is stacked on the bottom of the horses, up top there is one wide board of curly maple, several pieces of tiger maple, a couple of heavy figured bird's eye maple boards, two boards of rose wood, and two boards of blood wood.
Guys living in Georgia need to stop in and meet Rick. He has a ton of beautiful lumber, lots big slabs, and really, the guy is just super nice. I bought enough to get a nice deal off of the website listed prices, and so did my friend. We will go back when supplies get low again.
here is the kicker... all of the imported wood he sells comes in through the port of savannah... and I live about 6 miles from the port.... yet I had to go 206 miles up the road to put my hands on it.
