Come and get it, first come first served..
It’s mostly shorts 4 feet or less, wonderfull for that special project. Some is great with real character, some is boring straight grain stuff and some is trash.
Take what you want, but if you touch a board you load the board. No sorting.. most is surfaced on one side and some is jointed.. Some has a coat of varnish on it.
It’s as wide as 12 inches and as narrow as a couple of inches.. all of it started out at least an inch thick..
What isn’t gone by thursday will be burnt.

how much you got?

Pete, In Minnesota a couple of hundred bd.ft. is my guesstimate. about a half a pickup load.
What part of the country are you located?
Both of you need to fill out your profile!
Frenchy's in Minn.
How do you know he's in Minnesota? When I click on his ID it just says "user hasn't filled in any additional information"? I wish I knew how to enter a little information about myself - just haven't found out how...
Although you might have guessed I actually AM a "rocket scientist", I can't always figure out these damned websites without a little extra help...
Click on your own name at the top of this post.A small window will open up with your profile in it. Just the same as if you clicked on someone else's name.In that window, directly under the welcome is the option to "Change Profile".Click that link and yer on your way.Doug knew where Frenchy is, because Frenchy has made it clear where he lives, in many threads, over time.=0)
Carpe that ol' diem ! ~LisaL
It is pretty amusing/sad/normal/vexing (well, one of those words) that the "Update Profile" prominently displayed on the page is almost worthless
Marc
I don't know about others, but "update profile" is not prominently displayed on my screen.When I am looking at the list of threads, that is all I see is a list of threads.When I open a thread, that is all I see, the thread itself.I do not have the tri-part screen most have. Nor do I have the banner and all that other realty-robbing stuff at the top.The only way for me to get to my own profile, is to click on my own name as I described above.=0)
Carpe that ol' diem ! ~LisaL
I was agreeing with you Luka.
The update profile button at the top does not allow you to update your own profile info.
Most people (including me) had to be told how to get to the edit profile screen.
I knew you were. I obviously miscommunicated again !!Whuf !That's a pretty big thing to have out of commission. Do you know how long it hasn't worked ?
Carpe that ol' diem ! ~LisaL
It works fine... as long as I want to update the email address that Taunton knows and change my password for the forum.
One password I hope never to change... What! I never said that about Luka! Someone must have hijacked my account!
I've had the same problem with some of my programmers: "But it's intuitive boss; you highlight that column and press alt-tilde and the configuration screen comes right up. No, I didn't tell the tech writer about it...."
As you can tell, easter egg hunts for "features" have become something of a pet peeve.
By the way, I think Black Walnut was the last moderate that visited the tavern. Neither side wants him to go free!
Be well :)
ROFLOL !
Carpe that ol' diem ! ~LisaL
By the way, do you know ?...Who is Black Walnut, and why is he in prison ?
Carpe that ol' diem ! ~LisaL
Can't answer your question, but do you think we can get Frenchy to take some pictures of the imprisoned wood? He luvs taking pictures.
ROFLMAOAlmost as much as he loves boring holes in his own head.;o)
Carpe that ol' diem ! ~LisaL
Thanks, Luka...
I appreciate the tip!
Frenchy - sorry to hijack the thread. I wish I could take some off of your hands, but it's a might far of a drive for the old pickup...

don't worry buddy, your stash is still safe. I just need to find the round totits
"...the round totits"
Frenchy, tell me you didn't write that on purpose.

when in doubt add garlic

rez,
Trust you to find sex in everything! ;-) even a typo.. You must be a frustrated republican!
(big ol' smiley face)
it's the garlic.
be garlic power for the masses
when in doubt add garlic
talk him into sending it to me and I'll cart some to ya in February.DUM SPIRO SPERO: "While I breathe I hope"
Frenchy:
I have an interest in your black walnut. I live in NE Mpls and could come over Tues evening or Wed sometime during the middle of the day or evening. Not sure if that will work out for you.
I am curious... why are you getting rid of it?
Thanks,
Phil
phzuidema,
When you get here, you'll see. Actually I have too much.. over a couple of thousand bd.ft. of just black walnut sleeps outside in my driveway plus another thousand inside in the shop..
I just sorted it all out and the short pieces need to find a new home. I just E-mailed you directions.
Edited 10/17/2006 5:27 pm ET by frenchy
Cool!
Thanks dude
Hafta admit.....the round totits got my attention as well.
Gonna put a couple of those aside for me as well??

How big are the short pieces? Also, what widths and thicknesses?
"I cut this piece four times and it's still too short."
too late Highfigh. I think they're spoken for.
You'll have to build yer custom speaker cabs out of something else:o)when in doubt add garlic
I want to hear it from Frenchy.
"I cut this piece four times and it's still too short."
I just knew it!
Speaker Cabs~when in doubt add garlic
Not necessarily, I just haven't done much with walnut and don't have any in stock.
"I cut this piece four times and it's still too short."
highfigh,
they were as long as 4 feet and as wide as a foot they all started out at a little over an inch thick some were planed one one side some well jointed all are now gone..
Frenchy - this is Andy. Wanted to thank you for the lumber and also for the amazing tour. You have done an awesome job - truly fine homebuilding.
Andy,
You're welcome, sorry the guy from work got the lions share. At least he left some..
No worries - there is plenty for woodworking projects and accent work. Much appreciated.
I don't suppose you took any photographs of Frenchy's house that you can post....
Man I really wanted to. Wish I had my camera. It was amazing - I don't think the pictures currently online do it justice. Some of the detailing was just too cool. What you really need to see is his shop!
Zandrunas,
Man you are easily impressed. all that's in my shop is stacks and stacks of wood and some tools to make it into something.. It's not clean, neat, or tidy and definately not what my finished vision will be.. In fact I'm somewhat surprised that you didn't get some infectious disease.
Maybe I need to expose you to something like the woodaholism that I have. Did I mention you left several of the longer boards behind? (heh, heh)
This is an open invitation to anyone with a camera and some time. Please come and take some pictures so the doubting Thomases can be satisfied. Oh and I'd be extremely greatful if you could show me how to post pictures with my camera.. There might even be some wood in it for you..
I'd like to take you up on that offer sometime, and I'll bring my camera. :-)
Frenchy- you b*stard- stop rubbing it in already! "Stacks and stacks of wood"- makes me want to drive down there with a truck and help you unload some of it!
And somebody got into that freakin' wood-drooler's paradise of yours without taking some pics to post here?! Shame!
moltenmetal,
I can sense the woodaholism in you my son. Run, run away from the light!
Besides, there still is no visable proof that such wood really exists, I could be a cleaver counterfitter posting to myself.. you'll never know
:-)
...but the light is so purdy! Especially when reflected in the wavy, curly grain!
I knew I should have brought my flashlight! We had a feeling we might be missing something, but didn't want to take what you didn't have in mind.
If you don't get any takers on the pictures, I'll try to slate some time in the next month? Let me know.
Zadrunas,
I don't expect any takers, I've had several people show up here in the past when I've donated wood and narry a picture has been taken..
phone number.. and city please
