Lex Luthier Posted March 24, 2004 Report Posted March 24, 2004 Yup, I went across to the other building today, I usually don't go there, looking for something and came across a 10' long board of quilted maple in a stack of boards. It's not like AAAAA or anything, but it's also not junky looking, uneven quilting like I see at Windsor Plywood. I recently got a 1-piece body blank of plain maple from my work for $10CDN. That piece has 3BF in it which works out to $3.33PBF. So if I can get the board of quilted - 7.5"x1.5"x120"=9.375BF - for the same price, it'll be just over $31! I was thinking about it at work and if I got it at that price it could work out to $2.50 per drop-top! I will go to work with cash tomorrow and make the owner of the company an offer... Quote

Lex Luthier Posted March 25, 2004 Author Report Posted March 25, 2004 It's spoken for. One of the other supervisor's is making a TABLE out of it. Quote
Lex Luthier Posted March 26, 2004 Author Report Posted March 26, 2004 I GOT THE LEFT OVERS!!!! I got a 38" long piece of the quilted, the good end too, plus a 41" piece with some mild flaming, that looks pretty good on a planed board. I got the quilted board for $9CDN, and the flamed board I haven't paid for yet, but I'm not sure they'll know if it's gone... pics in the mornig. Quote
darren wilson Posted March 26, 2004 Report Posted March 26, 2004 It's spoken for. One of the other supervisor's is making a TABLE out of it. That should be a crime. Where do you work? And can i work there too? Quote
Lex Luthier Posted March 26, 2004 Author Report Posted March 26, 2004 Pretty nice for a $9 piece of wood. I can get four drop-tops outta it - that's $2.25 a top. You can kinda see the flaming. I'll use this for laminated necks. Quote
