VI Exotic Hardwoods

[Craig Carmichael]

Ah it's working, great! I'm reposting a few of my messages that may
still be relevant, like this one below.

(As I've gone through my past messages, I see they were getting
through last year, then it quit at some point and I've only recently
discovered it.)

I made a small sawmill in 2006 and I was doing "VI Exotic Hardwoods"
for a few years. I have a certain amount of wood remaining on the
shelves, pehaps notably gary oak, lombardy poplar and dogwood, plus
smaller pieces and bits of other interesting woods. Some yew and plum
chunks. My prices are good.

So if you're looking for 'craft woods'/hardwoods, give me a call.

Hi Craig,

I am  looking for some small pieces of dogwood and your posts dating back to 2006 keep showing up in my search. Do you possibly still have any dogwood pieces that could produce small boards about 2" x 20 to 24" x 1"? My small project is very dear to me as it is to be a memorial to my late daughter and must be done in dogwood. I would certainly appreciate any help in locating the small amount of dogwood lumber I need. I would like to find several pieces if possible, but will take what I find. Thanks so much in advance.

Hi Tim,

Sure, I can easily cut plenty of them from remaining dogwood stock. 20" without flaws is generally easier than 24". How's 4$ each for 1"x2"x20", or 5$ for 24" ones? How many would you like?

Cheers,

Craig

Hi Craig,

Wow, so greatful for your response. Your prices are very fair. If possible I would like at least 6 pieces, possibly up to 10 if shipping doesn't prove too costly overall. Just rough cuts of at least 1" or greater, 2-3" widths and lengths of 20"  or greater. I'll take to finishing from there. Please let me know how much you can render from these figures, the shipping costs and your payment details. I can do paypal, cc, check, etc. 

Best regards, Tim Stokes
