About three years or so ago, NCWW member Gary Conklin organized our first group purchase of Anchor Seal Classic (the proven blend of end sealer used to treat green log ends / bowl blanks to reduce end checks). This allowed NCWW members to consolidate our purchasing power, order in bulk and take advantage of a significant volume discount. It was well attended, with many NCWW members taking advantage of the savings.
Two and a half years ago we followed up on what Gary started by hosting a sequel at my farm. Here is a link to the thread about that event:

It’s time for me to purchase some more end sealer for my milling operation, and I’d like to see if there is any interest amongst NCWW members about participating in a group purchase.
The way that this works is that you commit on this thread for X gallons, and based upon the sum total of that we place a bulk order and schedule a date for the event at my farm in New Hill, NC (about 30 miles SW of Raleigh). Typically we will conduct the event on either a Saturday or Sunday, whichever works best for everybody. Most likely, we will plan on a weekend in mid to late September.
As a way to support NCWW, the price per gallon will include a $1.00 donation to help support the operation of NCWW.
Since we are buying in bulk, each NCWW member that participates is responsible for providing their own containers. We will use a drum pump to transfer it.
On the last run we purchased a total of two 55 gallon drums, which is a significant price savings over buying 5 gallon pails or smaller amounts at local retailers. The price per drum delivered was just quoted to me as $346.50 for the drum, and $120.00 for the freight / $466.50 total, which works out to be $9.50 per gallon, including the $1.00 donation to NCWW. I typically order the winter formula, which means that you don't have to worry about it going bad if it freezes in your garage.
If you would like to participate, please respond to this thread with an quantity that you're interested in, and if Saturday September 14 or Saturday September 21 are good dates for the event.
I plan on placing the order on or around Monday, 9/2, so please respond before then in interested.
Thanks!
Scott
PS - if we exceed a total of 55 gallons, I will purchase multiple drums as needed.
