Just wanted to let everyone know I've updated my thread over at the Sponsors Classified. I've added several new items and will be adding more over the next few days. I've got a stack of veneers already cut and ready to grind. Just have afew other projects to complete before I'm back on veneers and laminations.

Minus "T" my amigo!! (aka Roy),

That's one wood I've been trying to get in thicker sizes for some time. All I can find right now is 1".

Hopefully tomarrow I'll get time to dig out some of those black locust blanks for backed bows we talked about.

I think there might be afew of the fellows on here that would be interested.

1 inch works, heck a 1/2 thick billet will make a bow in the upper 50's or low 60's. Ya some kind of rookie out there in Ohio?    :laughing:

I've got several 1-3/4" x 1" x 36" pieces of osage in the rack. Most are flat grain. I use them to make laminations. If you fellows are wanting edge grain I can check and see what is available the next time I'm at the wood store.
