Made a run to the local wood store this morning. Basically I was looking for a piece of Lacewood and Red Cedar.
Anyway, after talking to one of the sales guys and giving him an idea of what I might be interested in he smiled and said "let me show you something".
When he pulled the board out all I could say was "Whoa Baby"!!!!
It took me over an hour to figure and measure to get the best results. Not sure how many veneers I'll get, but I can say this may be a once in a lifetime find.
It's Spalted Black Walnut. I've never seen anything like it before and may never find anything like it again.
I'll be posting more pics and info on it over at the Sponsors Classified in my veneer and lamination thread.

They are Ok I guess.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,,,,, :scared:
If I havn't returned an e-mail or PM to you, then you will be put on a list and contacted in the order you contacted me once I see how many sets these four billets yeild. I don't want to over sell. It's not like I can run back to the store and get more. Wish I could... :pray:
Troy, please put me in for a set Thanks Jim G
Jim,
Have you on the list. Never thought I'd get something that would be this high in demand.
Glad I wasn't planning on keeping a set for myself. If so I'd be out of luck. :biglaugh:
Troy
Good looking veneers
Thanks Troy, Make sure you keep enough for yourself,you might have to build a few extras. Ya know, addictions and all! lol Jim
Looks like Kuiu camo?!
Jim,
I like them, but I can't keep them all. I kept enough of the dark Birdseye Maple to take care of me for awhile.
Besides, the better half has about put me in bows anonymous.
Troy
Bows Anonymous :biglaugh:
those are stunning Troy
I thought it was bows unanimous !!!!We all belong to that!!
My wife still calls me a bow junky. :biglaugh:
She tell everyone I could hunt with a different bow everyday for a month and still not use all of them.
I say "hey, just call me a prepper"...

Yep, I see you have the same problem.. :biglaugh:
