Gloat FS - Cherry lumber - eastern Iowa

about 200 to 250BF of AD cherry available. $250 FIRM

My father-in-law passed away and when I was home over Christmas we started
cleaning out a barn. The wood was sawn in 1999 and stickered ever since
then. I would guess there is about 80 BF of 8/4, and 150BF of 4/4, and 4
long pieces of 3x3. (I didn't measure any boards - I just stacked them on a
hayrack to move them to the main farm.) All rough sawn. Most are around 10
feet long and 6 to 10 inches wide. There are some wide boards in the 12"
range. Quality varies from FAS to common grade - although most of the #2
and #3 common I cut up for kindling. The 3x3's have a little warp in them,
but are FAS quality. (other than the 3x3's not a lot would qualify as FAS)

Located near Calamus, which is on Highway 30 - about 45 miles East of Cedar
Rapids.

Cash only, you have to load it yourself unless you've enough guts to ask my
mother-in-law to get out there and help you. 1 pickup load should take it
all.

<<To Lawrence A. Ramsey - most people would qualify this as a gloat -
here's your chance>>

Show of hands...how many people knew what SPEBSQSA stood for? My college
roommate was and is quite a serious barbershopper, so that's how I knew.

Why do these deals always have to be so far away? Anyone have any great
deals on lumber near Houston?

Actually, being the New Year and all, it is some consolation. Not that you
can't afford to take advantage of it but that I'm fortunate enough to be
able to if it was nearby.

I've been happily married for 19 years Silvan. That moniker just rubs me
the wrong way, sounds way to subserviant and not like the partnership that
marriage is supposed to be. MUST BE OBEYED!!! give me a break.

I have a fine sense of humor, I just don't find that one funny. Now if you
want to talk about Bill Brasky...

If it's any consolation (and I'm sure it isn't), I'm in Eastern Iowa, but I
can't afford to take advantage of it.

I'm sure this will come as no surprise, but the wood has been spoken for and
a blind date between the wood and its new owner is set for Tuesday. If for
some reason this falls through then I will let you know.

Thanks,
Mike

No fair! you gave it away!


Who was recruited, _hard_, by the local chapter, even *after* I stated that
the only way I could carry a tune was "in a bucket". I dunno, maybe the
chapter membership was down to _three_. <grin>

Hi all,

As the wood's potential new owner, I plan on turning it all into furniture
and sawdust. SWMBO all ready has projects on my "honey do" list, 25 drawer
apothacary chest(Ordered a Leigh D4 for this), new Mission style futon sofa
frame(Picked up a Jet mortiser at Menards today), and if I have enough to
make a project for myself a 96" x 42" Mission Trestle Table. Should keep me
busy a few nights.

I plan on disposing of the sawdust and planer shavings while making one of
my favorite meals, cherry smoked brown sugar rubbed Bourbon basted baby back
ribs and duck. I use a pressurized garden sprayer to apply the Markers Mark,
with brown sugar melted into it, to the duck that have been stuffed with
cloved clement oranges that drip onto the ribs that stay extra moist from
the duck fat. When everything close to being done I take all the meats out
and spray again and then light them to crisp up the skin and the outside of
the ribs. That are so juicy that it drips off your chin. When I last made
this for some friends, one of our guest offer my SWMBO to either become
junior wife or my wife could have both her husband and four sons. Okay
enough food porn.

Enjoy Chef

I think you're a candidate for a humor implant. I could go on, but everyone
else reading already knows what I'm talking about. I guess everything you
say can be taken at face value and literally.
