MBF 5/4 Black Walnut for sale

[jeff...]

Well it looks like everyone is set, I'll see you all Sunday. Looking forward to putting some faces with names. I'm going to phone Ted in the morning and see if I can get a better handle on length and width and post here. I know not all of them are 16' so hopefully there won't be that much sawing needed.

 

[MikeH]

I like the suggestions so far, but maybe a Tweaked Modified Method 1 ?: 11 piles.

Stop at 50 bf-ish and draw a pile for hpm67.

The remaining 10 piles are up-sized to 100 bf ish. The remaining names draw a pile, except Turtlewood draws twice (2 piles) to reach his 200bf.

If all boards are ~16', there should be <10 boards in a 100 bf pile.

Then swapping, cutting, loading ensues. I have visions of a 3 Stooges scene :lol:

I'll bring chalk, a handsaw and some extra tie-downs in case somebody needs 'em.

BTW, 11 am on Sunday the 14th is fine with me.

Jim (fernhollow..) - if I haven't said so already: thanks.

I'll be coming with Tarhead on Sunday and I'll take my pile however everyone decides is best. Sorry to be the odd man out with 50 b.f. but LOML would have my hide if I put any more than this in the garage. As it is I'm not sure where it will go. I'll find someplace for it.

Reading this thread this a.m. after reading some "headline news" and thinking how good life could be if the rest of the world had the same outlook on life as the guys and gals of NCWoodworkers.

just a thought . . .

I found a little time to head up to Ted's this evening and snapped a picture of the 1000BF of black walnut. You'll notice a few layers of cull accross the top before the 5/4 starts. Random width and length, the 16'ers are on the bottom I couldn't back up far enough to get a picture of it all. It was not the best conditions to be taking pictures with the sun going down and being in the shade.

Thanks

 

[DaveO]

Bring that cull too, us scavengers could be interested in it :-D

I will be there just so I can meet some more members.

 

[cskipper]

yeah - isn't the saying something like "one man's cull is another's trivet?"

Pete, I couldn't agree more. The cooperation in getting this accomplished is so cool. I wish I had time to go just to meet everybody. Guess I'll just settle for pictures.

 

[Jim Murphy]

Great reminder, Cathy. I'm going to START NOW on my way to the truck with my camera, and place it in a secure place, so on Sunday I will have it on hand to record the GLOAT.

Those bringing moisture meters and cordless gear, now's the time to put it in the truck. The older I get the better my forgetter works.

well friends the my car is making very strange noises, I have a friend that will help me fix it but I need to order a rebuild kit for it. Are there any back up buyers, I really wanted to get the wood (a future gift to wife in the form of furniture) but I need to fix my transportation. If there are not any back up buyers let me know, I will have to swing it and keep to my word. God bless friends.

 

[Turtlewood]

Hey Michael,

Sorry to hear that you might not be able to make it.

If you can not make it, looking at the thread history, the next person who expressed interest in the group buy is skysharks.

I think that it would only be fair to offer it to him next.

John (skysharks), please let us know if you would like in on the group buy in michaelgerner's place of 100 bf.

I will PM/email shysharks as well to help ensure that he knows the news.

/Kevin

 

[michaelgarner]

let me know who is on deck, and if they can follow through, if not I have to start shaking out the coins in the couch

 

[Turtlewood]

Hey Michael,

I wouldn't worry to much about it. There were a few folks who also wanted in and a few who are in now that were willing to take more.

Hi guys and gals. I'd like to toss my name in the hat if you need another buyer. Just starting to get my shop in order and need some wood to cut up with all of these cool tools! I live in Raleigh (near Clayton) so meeting you would not be an issue plus it would be a great opportunity to meet some of you nice folks. Just let me know if the asking gets this far down the line :-D

Thanks,
Michael

Evening,
As with others in this thread, I'm in for "easing the load" of 50-100, if the list gets this far down......
Best to all,

Tony ...

[NCPete]

Mac (skysharks) and I are probably riding up together, if he is yet unaware of the new situation, I will let him know tomorrow when we get together

 

[skysharks]

yippe I'm in , I'm in. Sorry Micheal about your car.
Get up with me latter, I might be able to help you out.

 

[mkepke]

Quick, someone who knows the area: pick a place for lunch after the loading.
