Quick Poll

Filed under: Quick Polls — Tom July 27, 2008 @ 6:35 pm

Problem? Who has a problem? Some woodworkers are wood hoarders, snapping up bargains on any supply of boards they can get their hands on. Others buy what they need, refusing (or unable) to keep a stockpile on hand. So, where do you fall?

How much wood do you have stockpiled for projects?

• I buy as I go… there’s nothing but scraps
• Just some choice boards for special projects
• I could build a project or two with what I have on hand
• I could go for a good long while without a visit to my hardwood supplier
• I can embarass most sawmill operators
• Other (please list in comments)

3. Tom,

   I have been looking for a woodaholics annon but no luck so far in finding a meeting. I have so much wood lying around that I started a blog series called Tales from the Hoard where I expose one or two treasured pieces each month. Maybe this will be the catalyst to start using it.
