Here is the game plan. The shipping and handling cost about $35. I am asking $50 per box. The box will be sent to the buyer. After they inspect the contents, then they can mail a check for payment. If the buyer decides that the contents are worth more, they may pay more and the difference from the payment will be applied to a fund for Paul's grandchildren. If the buyer feels shorted, I will make good on the deal.

Box #37 is a USPS large flat rate game board box. I was told by USPS that these are still valid. If it turns out otherwise, adjustments will be made. This box has a 9" x 23.5" x .9" clean piece of Masseranduba with end checks, 5.25" x 22.25" x 1.75" Chechem 1/4 sawn, 5.125" x 23.8" x .875" nearly 1/4 sawn Canarywood with red tinge, a 3.3" x 22.5" x .75" Black locust with some wane, and a 2" x 2" x 23.75" blank of Marblewood with some surface checking. Other woods will be added to assure box is filled.
Buyer @SA-Motors Paid Thank you.

Box 38 received here in Arkansas in good order. Thank you once again! Now, what to do with it all. . . .

Just a reminder for everyone else: Box 39 is still unclaimed. . .
 
Hi @Mr. Peet. Sorry if this is inappropriate or disrespectful. I had planned on reaching out to Phil last year to see if he had any Billy Webb or Cow wood still available. My wife got sick and went into the hospital with blood clots in her lungs and went septic with an infection so I got severally side tracked. but I was wondering if you may have come across any.

We cleaned wood from Paul's office in the house and his shed out back. Still have to go through the basement bowl work area and the actual wood shop. Front axle mount on truck broke and weather has not worked out. So got very little done this month. Looking at an inventory sheet, looks like he has some 1.3 x 1.3 by 18" Billy Webb wood in the shop.
 
Hi @Mr. Peet if you do find the Billy Webb and it’s not the right size for Fred, then I’d be interested in it if possible. In addition to turning bowls, I’m also turning a collection of spindles from really really hard to find woods, and my spindles are exactly 1.25 x 1.25 x 18, so it would be the perfect size.

Anyway, hope you can get that truck fixed, and three cheers again for what you’re doing for Paul’s family.

All good. Paul had sold a bunch of smalls last year and I noticed that on a list of sales that was found, those woods were still on the inventory sheets I have. So they (Billy Webb Wood) may or may not be in the shop. Time shall tell.

Some bug damage on the Marblewood just over half way down.

Thank you, no rush. I understand life can get in the way. That piece would work. I’d still be interested in other pieces if they happen to show up. Please let me know

Hey @Mr. Peet , is this box still available? I think I've figured out some things to do with it. . .
