All right, I've had enough of lamnated stock...

my only experience is this weekend on ebay... the shipping is more than the wood, but it's fast & easy..

Not sure if I got a good deal or really care, I guess.. I just wanted to make more exotic shavings.. *g*

Hey Mac where are you ? I have wood coming out of my ears, if you're not to far come and get some, I have mulberry maple catalpa sycamore and some apple and oak and cherry and others.

You may want to try "ncwood" as user name on ebay,, I have used them several times in the past and have found them to be reasonably priced,, with good service. Just do a seller search with that name

Hi Mac

Yes Mac, I'm in Ontario, a bit better than half way to the east coast. To bad, it's a long way, to your place, the best my son and I ever did was just over 45 Hrs driving from the west coast to my place in Ontario, with a moving van (HD pickup with a big box). There must be all kinds of wood in California I would think ? Maybe you'll have to take a drive around and talk to some park people. Where do other turners get their wood ? do you have a turners club in your area ? Yes transportation makes for expensive wood even if you would get the wood for free.

Leo were in Ontario?? I am originaly from Toronto and came to Southern Calif. when my folks moved west. If I went back now to visit cousins I probably would be looking at their trees wondering which to take as a sovineer. I have been to your site and enjoyed your picures.

Hi Bruce

Thanks for the compliment.

I live on the north side of London Ontario, Toronto is a good 2 Hrs drive down the 401, if your in the neighborhood do come and drop in.

Sheesh!

If you're that close, come by my place in the UP with your pickup.

There's an AAW chapter forming up around the Hurley border area, too. Lots of people to trade wood and lies with.

:) Thanks for the offer, but mapquest gives me a 4 hour drive to Hurley. Might be worth it for one trip, but that's quite a haul for my old Dakota!
