Thread: Wood Scales - Browse & Buy Online

I think to reduce competition you should provide woods that other suppliers don't carry in 1/8". Rockler and Woodcraft seem to the the current favored suppliers, but neither of them carry any type of burl or the curly and bird's eye maple you guys specialize in. If you guys could offer something "new" in 1/8" you'd have a corner on the market for those species (at least for anyone who doesn't have a table saw or band saw).

Hell, I even have all the tools but would be willing to buy 1/8" curly maple from you if you could plane it flat for me. Seems every time I try to plane culy maple it tears out on me. I've resorted to sanding it flat after using the table saw.

Anyone know if anything is going on with this supplier? No new sizes on the site yet.

Making the 1/8" x 3" wide will be a bit difficult right now, but if your market is big enough, I don't think it will be a problem in the months to come. I'd like to throw another size out there (just to consider) We can offer the following size for a very reasonable price: 1/8" x 1" x 12". For example, we sell Bloodwood in 1" x 1" x 12" for $3.25. We could make (4) 1/8" x 1" x 12" pieces from that stock fairly easily and quickly. Each piece in this example would be about $1.31. Another example: Birdseye 1" x 1" x 12" = $5.25, 1/8" x 1" x 12" = $1.81. Would that size/price be of any interest? Thanks again for all your input.

1/8x1x6 or x12 would be cool if you could offer leaf cuts. That way we'd order 2 pieces of guaranteed matching grain. Worth a small bump in price, I'd think.
