Justin those look good. The curl really sets them off. Buckeye is a beautiful wood. Can't wait to see what you make.

Thanks Ted. It would be nice if it stayed in the 60's all year. Not to hot not to cold.

It was only going to get to 59 today....made it to 70. So here's to tropical Sunday.
Some more Koa.

How about some spalted birch burl?

That looks really nice. There is all kinds of figure in that piece. It would be hard to figure out what parts to use.

Brought back some nice wood from Blade. There were thousands of pieces to chose from.... I might be to picky. I only found 5 that I wanted.

Some spalted hackberry from Pete Crowl.

Some spalted maple.

Something about this wood on the left caught my eye, if I remember right it is old growth Douglas fir, I just love the grain, it almost looks synthetic. The one on the right is some dyed curly mango.

Ty, was it just me or was there a huge shortage of koa at the show. I looked everywhere for some, but no luck. Didn't get any wood at blade, but I did pick up a couple nice sets of giraffe bone.

We need a like button. I almost don't have to type in beautiful pieces of wood. The phone does it for me.

Amen! I keep looking for a like button and it continues to not be there!

There was some Koa. It was way over priced and hard to find. I went back through the vendors booths looking for material for someone else. All the Koa was gone by Saturday afternoon. I have been at this for a very short time but it didn't take me long to figure out if you see Koa at a good price buy it.
The wood pusher on this forum :3: told me it is money in bank. Like a long-term investment.... It has proven to be some really good advice.

Dyed wood seems to be the thing now. Thousands of dyed blocks.

Olive wood from Africa.
