Stocking New woods, What do you want to see?

If someone does casting, let me know. I have several hundred pounds of about 60 species of scraps.

I should start listing more of my cocobolo.

I try to stock a good mix of burl, I currently have the maple burl, the Buckeye and lots of exotic burls. I have Madrone and myrtlr, but they are still massive burls I need to break down. I have also been looking into bringing in more Koa.

I also noticed the figured maple was very very slow to move, which is why I stopped adding more of them to the site. I will try to look into the woods you listed

The other thing to remember is that the the more of a single wood I get, the lower I can price it at. If there is a lot of interest in one specific type of wood, I can bring the price of it down.
 
I picked up some 15 dollar kingwood from you a while ago, and loved it but I never see any on your site.
I would recommend trying the 15 to 25 section again. I think a lot of us missed it.
 
I moved back into the dorms and did not bring my 10-15 dollar kingwood and cocobolo. Come thanksgiving/ winter I can start to stock them again.

My other big question is what price range do you like?

I tried offering cocobolo, stabilzed maple and walnut and bocote in the 10-15 dollar range and got ZERO interest. 5 weeks and not a single sale on it.

so do you like 20-30
30-40
40-50
50-60 60+?

What range do you find you tend to spend on a block of wood.

Dang I haven't seen these in that price range! I may have to snag some next payday! Definitely some desert ironwood or a decent figured stabalized. And It seems easier for some guys to get scales instead of blocks. I might not know alot about making knives but I did network marketing for a while and you should really consider the g10 liners and some pins/ bolts. 10 small consistent sells are always better than 1 big one every now and then.

What do you guys think of birds eye maple? I have some really dense curly birds eye maple, but I havent gotten it stabilzed since i havent really any demand for it. Thoughts?
 
I like osage orange and African blackwood.

Well stabilized and colored figured maple is always nice.

I recently tried a piece of stabilized pecan (the dark part) and was surprised how well it worked.

Any wood that is stabilized "maple, walnut, redwood, buckeye, koa and so on" is stabilized by k&get, so the quality of stabilizing should never be in question.
 
I'm really enjoying doing stabilizing and casting myself so I'd be interested in buying stuff you won't sell as your typical product. Even if it's rotten or punky as long as it's dry.
 
Will do. There just so many woods out there sometimes that i cant even list all of them. I probably have 200-300 species that i have a block or two of in a huge pile in my closet at home.
 
There's a wood I've seen on line only twice (seperate occations) aparantly from China called Silver Vain
That was beautiful! That's something I'd like to get my hands on

As far as I can tell, it is a treated wood products sold by gallery hardwood. I have never seen any mention of it outside of his site.
