curly maple

Hi all - I’m a hobbyist woodworker who went (more than) a little overboard at an auction and couldn’t pass up the deals. The auction was the closure of Bauerschmidt & Sons, a storied high-end New York shop. I bought veneer for pennies on the dollar — and now I need to figure out what the hell to...

Curly Maple, Spalted Maple, and Ebony, brass for the scratchers.

A couple of folks requested figuring pattern variety on maple. This basically is the staple for electric guitar building and from 20 plus years of usage- I have about seen as many figuring variety that exist with thousands of board feet I have processed. I have tried my best to be critical in...

@Graybeard Dave, you asked in another thread about a pair of curly maple PM billets. Here is a good pair for you to consider. They came from adjacent sections of the same slab. The figure is better than the photo shows. It's hard to photograph curly white wood. Price is $30 for the...

I pulled a few more curly maple boards out of the storage shed this morning. This stuff was buried deep. I pulled three 10 ft by 8" boards and they look very nice. Here are photos of an end of one of the boards. Also a photo of them in the rough. They are 4/4 but will easily make pot calls...

I’m posting here too hopefully find out about how to process this score of a curly maple log I got. I’m looking to sell the wood properly cured and also cut the log at it’s full potential.

Hello. I have a few logs that hv great figure and I would like to get them processed and sold. I’m always finding these logs as I do small clearing jobs on the Olympic Pininsula here where they are found frequently.

Morning folks. I’m on here hoping to learn more about the figure maple world as I keep getting my hands on logs That have that. I bought a lt 15 wide cut w 30’ track. A halfway decent kiln. And I organized my yard incase I hv company... Well I just cut a slice off the top of the log I think...

@Eric Rorabaugh @B Rogers You guys recently asked about highly figured maple for pot calls. Here is a piece I found this morning in my stash. It is 4.25" wide by 1.25" thick and there is enough for three 4" blanks. I can send them in a padded flat rate envelop for $16 which includes the...

Here is a very nice collection of wood that is great for spoon and kitchen utensil carving. All pieces are 13.5" long and the width and thickness is shown on each piece. Depending on how you lay out the patterns, there is enough wood in this pack to carve 13 to 16 spoons, stirring paddles...

@dfowler13 asked for a box containing curly maple and thin flame cherry. The photos below show what I put together for him There are seven pieces of curly maple and two pieces of flame cherry. If David passes, I will offer this box to anyone else for $42 plus shipping. It is in a LFRGB.

@JesseC Jesse asked me in a PM for some of the curly walnut beam I recently listed. I combined the decent pieces I had left with some other curly woods and some cocobolo pen blanks to fill a medium flat rate box for him. To stay within the site rules, I am showing the contents here and Jesse...

@dfowler13 David, here are some pieces I pulled out of storage this weekend. I don't know if they will work for you or not. The cherry and curly maple are currently 16/4 squares but I can cut them down if you want. The curly maple is the best piece I can find for now BUT it is only 11...

Here are some drum sticks I made using Curly Maple with dye and Ebony for the tips.

If you are new to pen turning and are frustrated with the cost of blanks to use for practice, here is a opportunity for you to consider. I have put together a number of packs of American hardwoods that make beautiful pens. These are sold in packs of 20 and the cost (including shipping) is only...
