What's in your wood pile

[phoneman697]

With all the excitement over the Lumber Liquidators wood bundles, I started wondering what everybody else has in their supply of woodworking wood at home. Here is what I've have on hand, all are aprox. amounts:

25 bdft soft maple
25 bdft red oak
50 bdft knotty pine
175 bdft of Brazilian Cherry (thanks Lumber Liquidators for the steal)
1/4 sht 3/4" MDF
1/4 sht 1/2" Baltic Birch Ply
too numerous to list scrap prieces

What I really need now is a better storage system other than leaving it stacked/stickered in the basement. Final question for you guys, once you have your wood and it's acclimated to your workshop, do you leave it stacked with stickers, or do you just pile one piece on top of the other?

Here was my sollution for storage, I let it lay stickered till it is acclimated, then it move to here. I might have to build another if I do the LL thing. I got the Plans from Wood Mag, just can't remember the issue.

100bf tiger maple
75bf cherry
75bf ash
30bf poplar

10bf cocobolo

2 sheets of 3/4" mdf

I think Don is the champ thus far. Here's my "approximate" inventory:

5 4/4 Walnut
4 4/4 Hickory
18 4/4 Ash
10 4/4 Lyptus
12 8/4 white oak
8 4/4 Purpleheart
5 4/4 Red Oak
20 4/4 hard maple
32 4/4 Birch

4 4x8 3/4" birch panels from the BORG in varying stages of dismemberment.
Various cutoffs and turning blanks from Woodcrafts closeout table, including desert eucaltyptus, lemonwood, and cocobolo.

This is just hardwood, I don't count pine, cedar, or mdf.

Phoneman: You may not be thanking LL once you get to cutting that BC, from what I hear, its tougher than nails.

It's too darn cold to out there and estimate BD/FT, but I'll list the stuff that I have enough of to mention:

- Ash
- Chestnut
- Cherry
- Red Oak
- QS White Oak
- Hard maple (some heavy bird's eye, alot of curly)
- Sassafras
- Pine

(looking to get some nice red elm soon)
