Title: curly maple, want some?pics added
Post by: eman614 on November 14, 2010, 09:41:00 PM
we cut down a big maple tree at my parents house today, and it is as curly as i have seen. very pretty stuff. i have several pieces that would be big enough for risers, at least one and probably two. if anybody wants some let me know, all it will cost you is shipping.

I have a gunstock of curly maple... absolutely beautiful wood. I'd be willing to chip in for a trip to Hawaii as well.... The Post Office one box 70# thing is the way to go with this.. What's your time worth...  ;)  

Much Aloha...  :archer2:

alright fellas here are a few pics. the first few have been cut on a table saw and sanded so you can get a feel for what it looks like a with a bit of "finish" to it. a couple of the pics have walnut colored stain on them to show the grain better.   (http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss60/eman614/deer038.jpg) (http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss60/eman614/deer042.jpg) (http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss60/eman614/deer043.jpg) (http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss60/eman614/deer039.jpg)
this is what it looked like when we split it.

Just reread your post.  Looks like I got in late.  I was thinking they needed to be 10-14 inches long, but doesn't need to be big enough for a full riser.  Just gonna lam it up.  Thanks if you have some smaller pieces left.
