treeslayer Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 beautiful wood for sure, if it were mine i would put it somewhere just out of reach until that special project comes along, accent pieces, drawer fronts on a walnut cabinet come to mind, just don't waste it just because you want to build something with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaac Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 I agree with Treeslayer. I like the look of curly maple in smaller highlight doses. Tommy Mac did a recent desk completely out of tiger maple. The craftsmanship and achievement was amazing, so don't want to come across as unappreciative, and I'm not qualified to really criticize, but for me, the grain was just too much and kind of difficult to look at for too long. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark'swoodworkings Posted October 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 I should have mentioned that there is no running out of this wood i can get these bundles anytime i just went a little over board on collecting them as they were so cheap and nice wood now need to build something with them to warrant the purchase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCPDX Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 What part of Seattle are you in - I have a kid up there that can be my mule.... Would be interested in some of the figured maple for box tops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Well, considering it is 1/4" material, it sounds like jewelry/collection box type material. Get creative, know someone who likes fancy watches? make them an awesome display box. Know any tea drinkers? how about one of these? Anybody getting married? a fancy box for wedding envelopes is nice, or if you are religious, a box for donations. Just some suggestions where these really 'wow' type woods and grain patterns really shine, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown craftsman Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Quilted maple not curly. It's Quilted since it has pillows. Definitely jewelry box wood. It's got bling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCPDX Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Do you still have the 1/4" figured maple? What else do you have access to? I am not a slab guy - but would be interested in any smaller stuff such as 4/4 x 8" x 15" to 18" (or thicker.) Would you sell a couple of pieces of the 1/4"?
