Wood shop closing down in Phoenix area

We picked up well over 100 bd-ft of bird's eye and tiger maple for $250, as well as a few miscellaneous items at smokin' prices. He has a lot of other lumber and many tools for sale. All prices I looked at seemed very good. Nice guy.

He's closing his cabinet shop to focus on distribution of a very nice euro-style hinge that is self-closing with an oil damper. Worth a visit just to check out that hardware.

You just pipped me in posting this. I went down and met with Stan on Friday night. Picked up some Cherry and a sheet of Maple ply.

I had to be very restrained so as not to pick up too much, my storage is already bursting at the seams and LOML keeps telling me to make more stuff with what I have rather than just buying up more. He has some nice stock and seems to be selling most of it between 2 and 3 bucks a bd/ft.

His tools are priced fairly but no smokin deals so no chance for any huge gloats like Jon M

The smokin' tool deal is that mill at $900. Now if I only had the space for that monster...

I didn't really have the storage space for the wood, but did you know you can fit a LOT of wood under the BT with the extension table? Now I just need to figure out where to put the 8-10' boards; the majority were shorts.

You should come and see my shop I already have wood squirelled away all over the place. If he was selling at really crazy prices e.g. <$1 bd/ft I would have bought a ton and found somewhere to store it.

In the last year or so I have come across 2 real gloatworthy wood finds. In the first I got just over 500 bd/ft of mixed stock for $500. There was a mix of various stuff from plain poplar and baswood to QSWO, Walnut, maple and mahogany. When I got it home and worked out exactly what I got I valued it at approx $4000 at average retail (lumber yard) prices.

The second deal I got was on a mix of various exotic shorts along with odds and ends of ply and regular stock such as oak etc. I paid the guy $80 to clear out everything he had and amongst the stuff was a rosewood board 4/4 2'x4', a bunch of ebony, lacewood, purpleheart and a pack of exotic veneer that still had the price tag on it saying $50. There are some woods in there I havent managed to identify yet.
