Title: wood gloat
Post by: supershingler on June 17, 2010, 10:14:40 pm
i work in a lumber yard and today one of our cabinet suppliers decided to change all the color chip in our display.  i was   busy and didnt see what was going on but one of the other people i work with ask me if i could use the chips or they were going to throw them away.  well i look at them and couldnt believe my eyes..... about 140 pcs of solid hardwood 5" by 5 1/2" and 7/16" thick of oak, maple, cherry, hickory, alder, lyptus,pine, and a couple of other all  finished and ready to be cut into...... well i cant make up my mind yet.
i would post some pictures but cant figure out how  to attach the pictures.

well off to my magazine rack of scrollsaw mags to get some ideas.

if someone will tell me how to upload the pictures i will post them

Sorry Kendall -

No one is speaking to you.  We are all jealous.  (only kidding)  Congratulations on being in the right place at the right time.  It is neat to have some special wood, your mind just spins on what to do.  I know you will figure it out.  A real good problem to have  :)

Wow.  Just wow.

To post a pic you need to click on the "Additional Options" thing below the posting/typing area.  One option is Attach.  Use the browse button to find your picture and then click on post.  There are limits to the size and number of pictures per post but it spells that out for you.

Some people have all the luck. Really though congrats. If you go to Bulletins and News category, Steve has a video on attaching pictures to your posts.

Ornaments, ornaments, ORNAMENTS!!!  Or  . . . in the new Creative Woodworks they have some cool jewelry.  THAT would be fun!   Like winning a 'wood lottery' I would think!  How fun is that going to be trying all the different kinds?  I can't wait to see!  :)

Projects are always better when the wood is FREE.  Enjoy your new found wealth.

Happy Scrolling

you guys and gal are starting to make me feel bad, but im sure ill get over it.

maybe ill drop them an e mail and tell them ill pick up all their trash for them when they upgrade their displays.

well time to figure out what to do with a couple of these.

if anyone knows where i can get a pattern for the cancer ribbon that will fit on these chips maybe ill cut a few for the cancer walk that is coming up

SURELY, you would not dream of painting those ribbons PINK!?!?!?!?

I think I saw some ribbons at 'Wooden Teddy Bear' but I loaned the catalog out.
Take a look on their website.

The charge for that information is....one small box of 'samples' shipped my way!!!!
