Got an email about a sale of high end wood coming up soon. Screen shots with the details for anyone local interested in checking it out.

Holey moley! Just looking at the top shelf would be enough to make me attend.
Damn! I wish i lived up there! I'll be up in Cape cod 2 days later too! Ugh. I wonder if i could convince my wife's cousin in Portland to swing by 
lol

Road trip! I wish! Extraordinary collection. Hope someone from WB can make it! Chuck
That is a mighty clean workshop. I don't know of anybody who has a workshop that clean. And, the wood organization is spectacular. I have wood species all over my workshop (and more in the garage and more, still in the storage shed at the farm). Some nice wood will be changing hands right before Thanksgiving at this sale. Good thing that Maine is a long drive from Illinois. Saves me a bunch of money.
Wow! Can someone get me a chunk of lignum vitae? I’m dying to turn that wood.
What size is required? I know you posted in WTB, but i don't think you ever have a size.
At least a 5 inch cube, bigger even better. Or 5x5x4 at smallest.
Oof that's a tough size for a wood as rare as guaiacum. I was gonna say, i have a cookie, but i don't think it's 4" thick
Yes but I can’t make a mini hollow form . . .
I'm just saying it'll be a challenge to find a piece that big, and if you do it will be $$$$. Peppermill blanks of LV go for around $120 on ebay.
Sure you can! It’d be on the scale of a large ornament. Just saying… work with what you can get.
