Sorry if wrong section, move if needed.

Wanted to post my new lumber yard

Been having fun finding all new woods to work with. All I need now is time to make more knives.

That's a good stockpile. What's on the far left of the bottom picture?

Looks like cocobolo to me. I know the feeling. I have about 100 bf of coco, and I have a huge shipment of b/w and kingwood coming in. Be careful drying the bw. That stuff is just dying to crack

I think cocobolo is my new favorite.

I appreciate the kind comments. I think I'm on the way to an addiction. I catch myself looking each day for new blocks that I don't already have.
I blame Ray for getting me started with this from his kindness a couple of months ago.
(They're in the yard Ray waiting for a blade

I have enough to make around 60 knives. And that doesn't include the Micarta, Mycarta, and acrylics scales I have.
Whats funny to me is that I only make 16-20 knives a year and I still keep looking for more things to stock up on.
Anyone else like this ??

Me, guilty, sometimes half the fun is finding cool stuff
And you have found cool stuff!

I have a few pieces that I'm kinda hoarding. I'm waiting on that perfect knife to use them.
