Thread: Hit the Jackpot!

I stopped at Woodcraft store yesterday to get a piece of purpleheart - a 1/2 x 2 x 18 block costs around $9.00.

Instead, I checked their 'exotic wood' scrap pile and found a bonanza of pieces to use for scales - 1/4 x 1 x 18, 1 x 1 x 8, etc. etc. etc.

I got several different woods, including Padauk, Bocote, Cocobolo, Prupleheart, Redheart, Zebrawood and teak.

At $3.00 a pound, I got over 5 pounds for $17.

Now thats a good scrounger!

I need a camera with a focal plane shutter if you can get one. And film. Thanks.

Great find on the wood Tom.

Ohh man. I love that movie!

Since Tom is already the scrounger, I get to be Steve McQueen, since my last name is Hilts.

And yes, good job on the wood. Any exotic off cuts that can be picked up will be much cheaper than buying a large piece outright.

30 Days in the Cooler, for ALL OF YOU!!!

Great idea, I have one just down the street....I'm on my way.
