naamanf Posted May 1, 2010 Report Posted May 1, 2010 6.5 board foot of curly koa and a big block of curly maple. Very nice. Where did you get the koa. Pics?
Smeggy Posted May 1, 2010 Report Posted May 1, 2010 Got it at my local woodcraft. It was in a stack of lumber as plain Koa. I pulled it out and lo and behold... curly from head to foot! the whole board was over 8 feet long. I had them cut it in half for transportation. No pics of it yet. Not a bad price either, $215 for me Oh, dry as a bone too. It's been air dryed over a long period.
naamanf Posted May 1, 2010 Report Posted May 1, 2010 Nice score. Color me jealous. One of my favorite woods and at a good price to boot.
Smeggy Posted May 2, 2010 Report Posted May 2, 2010 [ATTACH=CONFIG]3070[/ATTACH] This is teh sexy I know what you mean though. Awesome wood and finding well seasoned, large pieces is very difficult and very expensive. If you'd like the other half I can see about shipping it your way. They wouldn't sell a piece of it so I had no choice but to buy the whole board.

Now if you might be building some Thunderpants with it....

swt61 Posted May 2, 2010 Report Posted May 2, 2010 [ATTACH=CONFIG]3072[/ATTACH] Holy crap!! That didn't sit idle for long! That will be a gorgeous pair of TPs. Are those Naaman's?
Smeggy Posted May 2, 2010 Report Posted May 2, 2010 That didn't sit idle for long! That will be a gorgeous pair of TPs. Are those Naaman's? Hehe Well it was so awesome I couldn't help but go down to see what it would look like with some oil in it
swt61 Posted May 2, 2010 Report Posted May 2, 2010 Naaman, I'm trying to procure you a set of Curly Koa TPs, but smeggy is being awfully evasive. Seriously though Gary, those are going to be fantastic!
Smeggy Posted May 2, 2010 Report Posted May 2, 2010 I have no news to be evasive about. If or when I'm sure you'll hear The main reason I wanted the koa was for a set of my own, I've been trying to find a good piece of dry koa for ages. However, 8 feet x 10" x 1" was a bit more than I bargained for. If you're interested in a piece, Steve, I'll be happy to send you some. You too Naaman.

Dusty Chalk Posted May 3, 2010 Report Posted May 3, 2010 It's a separate item, so unless you did, you didn't.
grawk Posted May 3, 2010 Report Posted May 3, 2010 it's only separate for those people who bought longer ago than the last few weeks.
