I love it when you are at your favorite lumber yard buying something else and a board calls to you. I was picking out a piece of cherry last week for a project. I decided to take a quick run by the maple. Well in the light I saw some nice reflections and thought to myself, those don't look like the typical wavy lines of a bad planner cut. After closer inspection, holding up to the light... yes it was... curly maple mixed in with them generic maple boards. I couldn't let it go, cause for a mere $5 a bd foot it was too pretty for some other unknown fool to waste. I slapped it on the cart and away I went merely. So I have a nice 5bdft board added to the stack. Sorry pic police, no pics as of yet. Maybe if I find the time this week. The thing I liked most about it was the consistent tiger lines through out.
Anyways, don't you just love those little surprises in life? Now to find cherry for less than $7+ a bdft in KC.
