Hello all - I'm Bob Casey and I live in Fuquay Varina. My father-in-law, Leon Harkins, passed away at age 87 from a COVID-related illness in December 2021. For those of you who knew Leon, he was a lifelong master woodworker. He taught classes, took classes, and created amazingly beautiful carvings & furniture. Leon's devotion to his craft was evident in the fact that his entire basement is filled with wood-working equipment (planers, drills, saws, etc.). He also accumulated a vast collection of hardwoods (cherry, walnut, some Brazilian hardwoods, etc.) from which he created beautiful pieces of furniture.
Now that he's gone, the family is looking to sell the majority of the wood and equipment/tools in his basement. I was hoping for some guidance here on where I might find places / people who would be interested in looking at / purchasing his collection of tools and stacked wood. Here are some pictures to get a sense of it all.
