   Tons of wood with photos/specs of each piece

   Unfortunately, $100 min order (unless you pick up in person)

   Thanks for your help, I will give it shot. Is there any one or more woods that you would suggest as a prized item?

   Hmmmm, tough to say. Only because what I think is highly figured or prized may not be what someone else thinks. It would be helpful to know what type of turning we are talking about - bowls, platters, vases?

   Also, try Northwest Timber - http://www.nwtimber.com

   No minimum order there. Click on "online store" link at left of homepage and then select " figured blocks". Pics of each block with sizes and prices.

   Another suggestion - what about a gift certificate so the recipient could choose his/her own wood?

   Best of luck,

   Lee

   They are going out of business - if you are in Washington State and can drive there - you may be able to swing a heck of a deal.

   Their site gives no indication of where there are.   Could you please let us know what town/city they're in?  Would appreciate it.  Telephone area code is everything west of Cascades except Puget Sound/Seattle/Tacoma/Everett. ...The unspoken word is capital.

   They were in Tenino about ten miles South of Olympia.
   I would still email Kat if I were you. She doesn't want to have to store all that lumber, and would probably work a deal to unload some of it.

   Thanks,

   I'm kind of over the hill, out on the coast near Oysterville.   I'll give her a shout....The unspoken word is capital. We can invest it or we can squander it.  -Mark Twain...Be kind to your children....they will choose your nursing home....aim low boys, they're ridin' shetland ponies !!
