I'm getting wood.
Yup, it’s finally happening. For the first time in my life I’m getting wood from eBay (though, to be fair, it has given me a semi several times in the past). Below are various pictures of my newly purchased lumber. All are Black Walnut which is a relatively easy species to work with and finishes well. Several pieces are “book-matched” which simply means that were cut in succession allowing for certain design patterning options such as creating mirror image type effects.
Perhaps if you had other interests, like meeting a nice girl studying with your neighbor, you will stop playing with your wood and start truly working your wood.
