I'm stoked.
After many months of scrounging I found a nice load of Sapele 8/4 lumber. I'd characterize it as 1/4th perfectly straight grained quatersawn and the rest is almost straight.
I'm not gloating...I've just been at this a while and the pickings seemed far too slim around here to ever have a contiuous supply. I was getting discouraged with retailers and distributors around here...sorting hours to find far too few usable pieces. This place I found laid out a nice sorting area and then gave me a man to help me sort through it!
I got 200 board feet. Gonna take a while to burn through that.
I'll take some pics after it's delivered tomorrow.
