Picking up some wood

Just got back from Paxton’s Woods.

And like any addict, I want to brag about my “buy”

I hit up their “oops” rack for molding as when I was there before they had a bunch of alder molding that I can use for boxes for my puzzles. So there were 6 5/8 x 6 x 10 ft pieces and two 5/8 x 8 x 5 ft pieces of that. I also found hiding in there 6 7 foot and 1 9 foot 3/4 square oak “sticks”. That totaled a bit over $24 ($0.22/lineal foot.)

Then I hit the “scrap” bin. There I picked up 2.5 bd ft of hickory, 4 of alder (in an 8/4×4″ piece), 8.5 of maple, and another 3.5 of oak.

That ran me just under $9 ($0.50/bd ft.) Total.

I got a bunch of wood for $35 or so.

Now I have to figure out where to store it

There was a lot more there as well. Not sure why some of it was there, to be honest. Maybe just too short for them to use as molding.

The guy told me that once or twice a year there’s a guy that comes in and just buys the entire rack. He turns urns for pets so it doesn’t matter what the wood is, he just glues it up and turns away.
