Has anybody ever ordered anything from woodworkerssource.net? I ran acroos them on-line and they seem to have a very large variety of wood to choose from in all kinds of sizes. The list is broken down geographically with all availible species listed. They have all kind of wood that I've never heard of to. Their prices don't seem to be bad either. If ya' have ordered how was the service and the wood?

Yes, I have! The wood is great, the service is good, and the prices are a little more then I can get the natives here locally at the mill, but on exotics, they are the place to go. At one time, they offered 10 BF of black willow for free to the first 20 or so people to want it, in exchange for a picture of what it was used on, and your thoughts on black willows value in woodworking.I was one of the lucky ones that got the deal. The wood was all great. I also have purchased some purpleheart and some leopardwood from them.If you tell them exactly what sizes you will need, they go the extra mile to make sure all your pieces are uniform in color/grain, and wide enough, and all that jazz.
As for the value of black willow and woodworking.............. For furniture... to light and weak. Its to soft for most things. BUT, for intarsia, it is an awesome wood, with colors that vary, sometimes moreso then cedar! It scrolls nice to, with little or no fuzzies. DaleDale w/ yella saws

I use acrobat reader. The poster feature will enlarge and if it goes to multiple pages it will put in cut marks. Even if the page is over letter size it will spread to multiple pages at 100%.

Reply to YoraHome Laser w/CNC Engraver/Routerby theframerHi Linda, great find...I think.
Please keep us up to date with any information you receive. I would really like to get into this, but my computer skills are almost nonexistent, I need something that a 74 year old air head 🙄 can figure out. Thanks for sharing.

Reply to Peanuts #1by theframerGreat job, SNOOPY rules.
There are very few people who had the insight about life that Charles Schultz had.
