Yea I may have to agree with you Cody. He may not be sure of curly or straight !! I believe maybe the nuts have him confused :wacko: I don't know or remember if he knows the difference between big nuts and coconuts,curly and straight either that or @Schroedc is shipping the nice stuff back to @Don Ratcliff trying to make it look like he has some awesome wood. I bought some of the lesser desired stuff hoping it wood bring out the infamous curly KOA but heck my curly pecan seems to top that. Not saying there ain't none just saying ain't seen it.:ponder: Really makes one ponder if it ain't all just hype at this point.
now I understand Colin has a new job and I am all good with that butt! the curl of the world has not shown up here. Like taking a kid to the candy store and promising the Willy Wonka Factory and delivering the liqueur store candy selection.
If It Be Let Us See It !!!

We Have Waited Long Enough!!!

Yeah, I've been doing a pretty crappy job getting it all cut up. Haven't sent anything back to @Don Ratcliff , haven't used any of it myself. it's just in a big pile keeping my wife from parking in the garage. What with trying to keep the business afloat and finding out my wife was less than forthcoming with the state of our finances (Apparently house payments weren't getting made...) I should have gotten a lot more of it cut by now. On a positive note, I turned down an offer to sell the sawmill so I can still process and with the new job being a 9-5 type deal I can use my nights and weekends to work through it. And not having the shop as a business much any more I'll probably turn the showroom into work/storage space so I can slab and pile it up.
 
@Schroedc hey bud get up house in order. I doubt anyone is out of wood. I am mainly yanking the crazy Islander chain.
Now where did I put that incoming missle button at!

Thanks, got the house figured out by draining the emergency reserve so we're good there. It just sucks a bit because I had planned to replace her car that's falling apart and now that waits. It's life, I'll survive, The steady paycheck thing will be nice going forward.
 
My first "big" for me order. From Woodturningz. Mixture of about 45 kits, a few keychains kits, bushings, bottle stoppers, and bottle stopper mandrel and kit. AND got a free pen blank and a roll of Smarties!

It is if you use a page called Honey. It watches the prices and alerts you if the price goes to a specific amount.
I had it set for below $15. I got it it for 11.99!

Nice! I'm generally not disciplined enough to do that, wait until I'm out and need it right away.....
 
I appreciate it but I have a nearly new roll that should last me about 5 years.
