Default Gloat - African Hardwood $1/bf - Portland, OR

Now that I've filled up my shop with wood, I'll share this information.

I just purchased 1263 board feet of african hardwood for $1263. I got:

Makore - 773 bf
Aiele - 150 bf
Olonvogo - 94 bf
Limbali - 246 bf

Some of the Makore and Olonvogo even has spaulting. All rough sawn,
8/4, pretty strait, mostly clear. I didn't see a single knot in the
entire warehouse. The place is going out of business and needs to sell
everything by end of month. Everything is $1/bf. Minimum order was
250 bf.

I posted their inventory with contact info he

Enjoy!

Well, there is no doubt but that you suck...

I donno, it seems to me that in that quantity they ought to be able to sell
it to dealers for more than $1/bf. No?

At least I was nice enough to divulge my source. I see so many gloats
on here where people don't share the wealth. Of course, I didn't let
the secret out until AFTER my shop was completely filled...

And the woman running the operation is very nice so I'm happy to send
customers her way.

Hehe, I went yesterday and got 120bf of loose for the same amount as
the 20bf of cannary wood I needed for a commisioned piece.

Mostly 8/4 african teak, some limbali.

Want to go get more.

I thought about getting some. but since these woods are oddballs they may not
sell well. people want to know the wood before they will buy a plane made from
it.

No one said you weren't nice; just that you sucked.
