**ENDED** Mesquite for Joe

[Tony]

@Gixxerjoe04 and I have been talking about a trade via PM. Here's what I've got Joe. 3 of them are over 6" wide, 2 are 5" and 1 is 4" Does this work for you? Tony

Looks good, I'll try to get out in the garage and see what I can find, had a long night and been recovering on the couch all day haha. You just looking for lumber or do you do any turning?

 

[Tony]

I understand, take your time, no hurry. I do not turn, sorry. Dedicated Flatworker here!

Here's what I got left I haven't used yet, if you don't like anything I can just buy the wood from you or will have to wait until I go to the mill to get more stuff. All of its dry and an inch thick except for some of the walnut I already jointed one side. The board on the right is curly ash I believe, could be poplar, can't really remember exactly. Next to it is rainbow poplar, it's 9.75" wide for reference. Next pic, right is hickory then qs red oak, didn't have anything to spray on it but it has good figure. The last pic, left is walnut and right is buckeye, it's really soft so not good for cutting boards or stuff like that but looks good when finished, I use it for bottle openers. Let me know if you want me to spray anything down or if you're interested in any of it, I'll see what else I got laying around. Got some nice barnwood too haha.

Joe, the hickory and walnut work for me. I've got plenty of red oak and barnwood thanks

 

[Gixxerjoe04]

Any particular lengths? A lot of my walnut is cut up to around 20", some longer. I've also got some 8/4 walnut, cherry and maple, just forgot to take pics.

 

[Tony]

The longer the better of course 24" being the max you can fit in a LFRB. I think I'm okay on maple, but the cherry and/or walnut would be cool. Tony

 

[Gixxerjoe04]

Here's the box so far, trying to figure out how to configure it. There's 4/4 walnut, the wide hickory, and a 8:4 walnut and cherry. I could cut a piece of 8/4 cherry and 4/4 walnut to fit the small spots. The 4/4 walnut is the only piece 24" without sap that I have, but if I cut a small piece of walnut without sap.

 

[Tony]

Joe, however you do it will be fine, no worries. If you need to put some sapwood in there that'll be fine. Tony

 

[Gixxerjoe04]

Here it is, gonna drop it off tomorrow after work. Rearranged it and cut up 2 pieces of walnut where 2 are 4" and 2 are 2" or maybe a little under. One of the boards was already jointed and planed and the other is jointed on one side, will have to true up the sides bc I cut them on my bandsaw since my ts isn't working.

 

[Tony]

That's cool Joe. I'm getting yours taped up now, tomorrow's going to be crazy busy but I'm going to try to get it sent off. Tony
