I stopped off at the local Woodcraft on my way home today and there was a little tub of free wood near the checkout stand - one piece per customer. I snatched up this nice 3x3x6 chunk of mesquite.
Congratulations on the Great 'FreeBe'... Hip Hip Hurrah for WoodCraft AGAIN!!! Only wish their local store was closer...of course, I and all the other wood carvers and turners would be broke all the time!!! ;>)
