I just picked up this assortment if wood this morning. It is a mix of mostly hard maple and cherry with a bit of walnut mixed in from a local hardwood supplier. Just buying the stuff qualifies as a gloat, doesn't it?
Here's the kicker... The whole load cost $25.00. Yes, the decimal point is in the correct spot.
After I undloaded this lot, I went back and got 50 bd ft of beautiful, quarter-sawn white oak for $2.30/bd. ft. I don't have room for this stuff but I couldn't pass it up. I guess I won't be ripping up any pallets to make furniture for a while.
