Okay, wood came today... Ray, no need to watch your step. I am very happy so far. Great looking wood. One piece of 1/8" had a crack, but nothing I can not work around and it is wood. May have cracked in transport. Some very nice Cherry and a beautiful piece of Beech. I purchase the Beech piece because I have never had any before. This piece really looks like Red Oak. I an anxious to cut it. I think it will handle a couple of Fiona Kingdon's patterns. The Cherry is scheduled for the tower clock that @heppnerguy and @rdatelle, did recently. I may get to order more because I found it really difficult to decide how much I needed.
I have the wood stacked and will let it rest a week or so. Hope it doesn't warp like a lot of wood I have purchased. I can say, buying from Cherokee was a pleasant experience and everything went like clockwork. Right now, I see no reason why they will not be my go too place from now on. I didn't compare costs with Ocooch Hardwoods but I'm pretty sure they are close to the same. I think shipping may have been a little less for me, but Cherokee and I are on the west coast. Any way. Little disappointed I don't get to travel to Rays with a brown poop bag,,,, (I was even saving up , if you can picture that), but I'm very happy with what I received and how I was treated (I mean they called me to discuss my order)...... Please give them a look when you need to order some wood next time.
Ray, I did not get the discount you talked about....... They must REALLY like you!
