Sickness only gets WORSE

Post by Hukk »

YEP, Bill Horn is correct, "The Sickness Only gets Worse". Here are a few pictures of some inventory I horse-traded or bought and sold enough so that all of the stuff in these pictures is basically free at this time.


Each picture has a description of what it is. I got a truckload of very fine cut offs from Calico Hardwoods who buys local walnut trees and burls and makes fine gun blanks that they sell for a fortune. I also got Claro walnut.

Claro Walnut has a reddish tint to it the first picture has 4 pieces of Claro Walnut on the left and 3 pieces of French Walnut with the stabilized French Walnut circled in yellow.

IT ALL STARTED WITH A TRUCKLOAD OF FREE CLARO AND FRENCH WALNUT.

Yeah, I've been busy and need a cleanup day.

I now tend to buy boards and burls and stabilize. Then I sell until what I have left is FREE!

The numbers on the knife blanks have 2 purposes. So they can keep track of it when being stabilized and so I can track it until I no longer have to sell it, it is now free after paying all costs including shipping.

Depends on where you look. :mrgreen: The wood area is fairly well set up, steel is in bins cut at 3 ft lengths, 1095, 1080, 0-1, D2, and L-6 are on hand with some miscellaneous pieces of Damascus and stainless steels. But there are area's that, ahem - er I won't show. :lol: :lol: :lol: Needs improvement.

But every time I clean it up, I can't find anything. ::shrug:: :lol: :lol:
