Why do I do this to myself??

[Ryan]

I have an "Exotic" Hardwood store 2 minutes down the street from my work. Somtimes if I do not have anything to do on my lunch I will go down and see what they have. Today of note they had.

3 50lb Snakewood logs (They sell it by the pound.)
A bunch of super curly Euciliptus
A Crate of Desert Ironwood.
3 40Lb Afzalia burls
3 40lb Amboyna burls

Today I managed to get out with only a big chunk of Pink Myrtle Burl, but I had him hold some of the Afzalia and Amboyna for me until tomorrow. The LOML is going to kill me

I don't know why she even allows you to have CCs, with that kind of temptation so close at hand.[]

WOW, I'm jealous! Nothing like that around here (that I know of). I'd have a tough time walking out of there with only a "big chunk" of burl too!

The way I see this post is a stealth GLOAT!!!

Lucky DOG!!! [][}] LOL

Well Guys,

That is why I do NOT have a credit card. Every time I walk out of there I keep thinking to myself I have to sell more pens.[] I don't think there is a rosewood that they do not have. The even have the East Indian Rosewood. It is the most expensive stuff they have in the whole place at $43.50 a bft.

You could possibly get 24 blanks out of a bft. That would be $1.81 per blank[]

To heck with CC's...just make out an allotment to them..[][][}]

Sounds like my kind of place. BTW, I charge a <u><b>lot</b></u> less for East Indian Rosewood pen blanks.[]

Ryan I know what you mean, I have a saw mill twenty minutes from my home and they import a lot of exotics and then mill everything themselves. I can't even guess how many pay checks I've left there. They also carry a lot of wood working tools and everything and anything that a kid could ever want, a big kid anyways. I'd love to see the pink myrtle burl if you get a chance to post pics.

Just get a part-time job there and have them payroll deduct your purchases. You won't have to worry about losing your paycheck, since you won't have one.

Woodbutcher, that is a new definition of Direct Deposit.[]

Ryan, just send me the wood to "hold" for you until you can break the news to your wife []

I used to open a friends shoe store a couple of mornings a week and did it. I always bought top of the line work boots and I still get the "employee" 40% discount.

Hi Ryan,

Is it MacBeath you go to? I seem to drop a bundle every time I'm there. If it's a different place I'd love to know about it! I'll be down that way again on the 17th, and I'm looking for wood to make cane handles out of.

Scott.

Wayne,

I will try to put some pic's of the pink myrtle up soon as I have some blanks cut up now.


Scott,

Yep you guessed it. Give me a call on the 17th if you are down there around noon and we can spend lunch time drooling.
