I never did ask you where you found that sweet lookin' clear(ish)

studs is ghastly. Or is that just The Canuckistani's Revenge wood
they're exporting at us?

Those came from the Gilchrist-Jewett lumberyard in Waukee, Iowa. They
helped me pick through a couple of pallets of 20-footers to find the
best of the bunch for a couple of shop projects.

Must have been a slow day for them, eh? Do you drive a flatbed?


It was all from the US and only slightly more spendy than at the BORG or
Menards.

Bueno, bwana.
