You are a tease Rob. Where did you get and and more importantly what are you going to do with it?
I do not think therefore I do not am.

Dunno what's going to happen to it at the 'mo. SWIMBO says that she wants something out of it so I'm awaiting a decision and I'll use a bit of it for a posh cufflink box with a lining in Holly. Other than that, it's just nice to have it in stock. I used some Roman bog oak (2000yo) for some bits and pieces on The Corbridge Cabinet posted recently and that sort of whetted my appetite to get a bit more. Although you can't see it, there's all sorts here; jet black, stripy stuff and it's all dead quarter sawn so it'll look fantastic once planed and polished.
I also got a M42 blade for the big bandsaw as a lot of it is so hard (especially the middle board :shock: ) I needed something fairly heavy duty to chomp through it - Rob
