I have about 300 board feet of 8/4 Cherry Wood to sell. What is the
proper way to list this for sale here and not violate all the rules?

Send it to me for storage.

The only "proper" way to sell things on the Usenet is to put it in a sig and
talk about something people want to talk about. Anything more is spam. OTOH,
this is the only sort of SPAM that's likely to get me to drool.

I live in AZ, but unfortunately don't have the proper tools to best make
use of any of it - no planer, no band saw, etc. Sigh...

I think you've done fine.. IMHO, it's only spam if you're a professional, not a
one time thing..

8/4 by what??
Just wondering if it's wide enough for bowl blanks..

Have a FAX number?

From 6" to 12".

When my sister makes bowls she glues pieces up as necessary. With some
6" you could make bowls 12" X 4" with no problem.

As long as you're a regular poster, have a personal item to sell, and
only post the one initial for sale message you'll probably be ok. More
then 2 for sale messages a year would probably be excessive.

As a courtesy, mark the subject line with a prefix like FS: or whatever
you want to use. Be sure to include your location, especially if the
item is hard to ship.

I'm thinking more like 2x10" or 2x12", Bob..
I want to make some offset platters and this might be a very nice wood to do it
with..

This is USENET... No rules, no one in charge, etc... You'll get
flamed if anyone objects, but if you have somehting of interest to the
group and the price is right, you'll sell it! Good luck with selling
your wood. I had no idea AZ had any cherry trees. Several years ago
I bought a planer and jointer so I could buy cheep lumber at a local
sawmill and stop paying big box store prices. Then I wanted even
better looking wood, so I bought a small band saw mill. (Timberking
1220) Now I've got about 1000 bft of cherry, 1500 bft of maple and
about 400 bft of walnut. It's almost time to get a few more walnut
logs. The loggers sell ugly logs cheep because the commercial mills
want straight, knot free wood to cut grade lumber from. The uglyest
logs make the most beautiful lumber! I'm going to take my mill to a
big logging job soon, the logger offered me all the walnut crotches
and stumps I could cut if I'd come pick out what I wanted. They leave
the best parts in the woods to rot! I only need a couple of feet left
on the stump to cut them for gunstock blanks, they always buck the
logs into 16 ft lengths and a couple of feet of log is always cut off
anyway. Free wood so far has cost me the price of a planer, jointer
big shop bandsaw and a sawmill... LOL

No cherry trees in AZ that I know of.

I did some surfing and found that cherry wood in the size I have, 8'
plus, are grown in the "tropics". Up to 30' tall.
Several different species etc. Trying to find more information.

If it was "grown in the tropics" then odds are that it's Jatoba, aka
"Brazilian Cherry". It looks somewhat like cherry and darkens with age,
but it's more than twice as hard as hard maple.

You seem to be more knowledgeable than me about this. Do you have any
online references that I may look at?

Thanks for the additional information.

[Josepi[_12_]]

There are online hardness charts for tropical woods. Try google.ca

It would seem the softer the hardwood in N.AMerica the harder it is in
Brazil???

Brazilian walnut is one of the hardest woods there is and yet N.Am walnut is
one of the softest.

I have a piece of Tiger Wood out on my deck for the last year to see if it
is as good for decking as reported. The urethane finish has turned dark and
may split some day but the rest of the board is in perfect health. The stuff
is so tight grained, moisture doesn't penetrate and it cuts like a piece of
steel or maybe anodized aluminum. Nice machining though.

The a good starting point is the FPL/CSIRO searchable database at
http://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/search/commonname_request.php. If there
isn't a tech sheet listed for a particular item it's probably not traded
commercially in any significant quantity. The search engine on that
site sucks though--entering "cherry" will not find the common US
commercial species, but "black" or "black cherry" will.

By the way, FPL will identify several samples a year for a US citizen at
no charge--details at
http://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/research/centers/woodanatomy/wood_idfactsheet.php.

http://www.woodworkerssource.com has datasheets and photos for a wide
range of species, some of which they also have in stock for sale.

While there is true walnut grown in South America, wood commonly sold in
the US as "Brazilian walnut" is the same stuff sold for decks as
"ipe"--different wood--walnut is in the genus juglans, ipe is in the
genus tabebuia.

Are you telling me that "IPE" is not Brazilian walnut? The manufacturers all
claim it is.

Sometimes the translations from Portugese to English is not too good...LOL

but if they are a different genus then that would settle that one. Common
names for plants are a bitch too, sometimes. everything is a "flower"...LOL

Marketing name. If you use it for a deck it's "ipe", if you use it for
a floor it's "Brazilian Walnut", if you use it for a turning square it
may be called "lapacho".

One local yard used to have a huge stock of South American
hardwoods--they had cabinet-grade ipe that was lovely stuff right next
to it they had Argentinian walnut that was like American walnut only
they had it 3 inches thick, 15 inches wide, and 18 feet long with not a
speck of sapwood on it. For some reason that they wouldn't share they
no longer have any of that lovely stuff--it's all domestic lumber now.

I'd venture had to do w/ the former lacking the provenance of
sustainable foresting in the rain forest areas. Much at one time was,
if not exactly black- at least gray-market from the clearcut clearing
for expanding cattle and grain production, particularly bad in Brazil.

Could be--it was all supposed to be from Argentina and it was amazing
stuff. Wish I'd laid in a stock of it.
