Hey everybody my name is Britt. I had intentions of having my store stocked better before I opened the door but my sander went pow today and I have finished listing whats ready to sell. I have several hundred more pieces cut but they have not been sanded yet. So you will see some images not in place yet and some categories empty, I apologize for that and am working on it. I have the number of items in stock beside each category so you wont have to open the category to find out it is empty. When an item sells it is removed from the store.
About how I sand, I tried a drum sander and the one I used didn't sand the scales parallel because the wood was sinking into the spongy conveyor belt. So I tried sanding totally by hand and didnt like that either so I made a sled to sand my scales on the belt sander. This works good , not 100% perfect but it does do a real good job. The picture is my sanding sled made of scraps.

So feel free to check out my store.

Shipping to the USA will be a flat 6.00 for orders under 100.00 FREE SHIPPING to the USA if your order is over 100.00. Shipping to Canada is 12.00 no matter how many sets you buy. International shipping is 16.00 , all custom fees, duties, taxes etc.. are the responsibility of the buyer.

I will combine shipping from here and the store/ spend 20 bucks here and 80 at the store and it ships free to USA.

PM sent Thanks Mike

The Koa listed here is sold but there is more in my store and when I get my sander running again I have a little more to sand.
 
Thanks Mark.

If anybody is interested in some cocobolo scales check this thread again this evening
 
I have some cocobolo scales that was next in line to be sanded when sander went pow. If you want to sand these yourself you can save a little bit. If they are still here when sander gets fixed I will sand them and put them in store and price goes up.
Same shipping rules as stated above.
I wet #1 the others are dry. The colors in this wood kinda go away when freshly sanded but give it a day or two and the colors will amaze.
THESE ARE NOT SANDED so measurements are approx.

$8.00 each

1- 7/16 x 2 x 4 7/16
2- 7/16 x 2 x 4 5/8
3- 7/16 x 2 x 5
4- 7/16 x 2 x 5 7/8
5- 7/16 x 2 x 5
6- 7/16 x 2 x 4 1/2
7- 7/16 x 2 x 4 7/16 ( I actually sanded this block some , thats why the color difference, in 2 more days #7 will be the same color as the first 6 )
