Found this at Marshall's

[jimofsanston]

Olive wood with high figure. Cheap too.

. Should be able to get some very nice blanks out of it.

Man I have to start going to Marshalls

Great find. There was a time when I hated to go to any store with my wife until I found that there are sometimes items found that I can use in my hobbies. If nothing is there for me to use I enjoy watching the"Different" people as they pass by.

Google video "Funny Walk Walmart" .... good luck trying not to laugh.

Awesome - my wife came home with one of those for me a couple weeks ago! Awesome wood!

I've had luck like that at my local Marshalls also. You just have to watch the thickness. Some are a little thin but they worked out ok for making some bangle bracelets.

LOL Just did that same thing myself. Also at TJ Max.

Will start looking for this in some of these stores mentioned. Any in Wally World??? Also what price range are we talking about here to give me an idea. Thanks.

I have found them @ Homegoods, also. All part of the TJX family of stores

What is it, exactly?


Mixing paddle?

Some kind of wooden spatula?

Planking board for grilling fish/steak ect?

Grill cleaning tool?

(In my mind, it would work for all of the above and then some, so yeah, I'm really asking what they're marketing it as... it would help everybody who's looking for them to find the right store section! )

Cutting board.

I found the same thing at Home Goods in Tucker, Georgia. They had a whole line of things made of Olivewood and the grain was outstanding. A little thin, but good for Slimlines or Tony's.

I bought several of them from a couple of Marshall's stores and paid between $4.99 to $20.00. The $20.00 is about 12 x 16 x 1 and was clearance priced due to a split in the board. The others were similar in shape to the one pictured in the initial post. The most expensive of the ones like that one which I bought was $9.99 and should yield 10 or 12 pen blanks that are 3/4 inch think.

Here is a picture of one that I made last night from a smaller one.

I can not believe some of the grain on these boards. I am sure it is not Holy land olivewood but still that stuff looks great. I am going to have to walk into a few of these stores. Nice work on the pens. The timber really works with them.

I've picked up a couple of nicely figured cutting boards at these stores as well. Always great finds. Not always easy to find the thicker ones, but they are out there.
