Sorry for delayed responses, we had some storms hit and I have had a few big projects work related keep me running. I started cutting a good bit of this up last last night and evidently have burned up the motor on my table saw. It's a big power matic and that is the only thing I can figure that happened. SO, here are the options:
I have several 8x5.75x2.25 blocks cut ready to rip that I can ship how they are which is in blocks.
OR: I can ship them when I get another motor ordered for my saw which will be a few weeks. Pm me and let me know what you would rather me do.
I have all of the bigger blocks sitting there ready to cut.
Alright, long story short about a year and a half ago dad (bulldogmikey) decided for some reason it would be a good idea to buy a whole lot of mineral stained poplar. It was from a local saw mill and the guy basically had a truck load of it. I was the poor soul who got to store this stuff in my basement until it dried. We're in between seasons and my wife has asked me to clean out the basement. I'm gonna try to get a lot of this stuff cut up tomorrow and get it out of my way. I will be cutting it in 2x2x8 and 2x2x13 blocks. Just trying to see if any of you guys have any interest in it. I can box it up and ship as much as you would like and I'll even take the shipping. I don't know what stuff like this goes for and money is not the issue. I'm not sure what he paid for it. Again, it's just about clearing the basement.
Some of it is very dark and some of it just has streaks in it. There is even some that has some worm holes. When I say a lot of it I mean a lot. There is probably enough there to build 200 to 300 box calls. If any of you have any interest let me know and I will get it out to you. You guys can basically name your price per piece or per box of however many you want. If you are owed any wood or dad had some promised out to you I will send you a box. I appreciate you guys looking.

Shannon,
If your serious let me get the the ones cut that wanted it and id be happy for you to come get the rest. There will be a ton left. The way it looks I can get about 24 8 inch boxes per board give or take. I'll have well over 30 boards left.

Pm sent ur way

I have received so many PM's and my response time is horrible so I will leave this here. I cut a lot of it up yesterday and will start shipping some of it out at the end of the week. Be patient with me and I will get it out to you if you have PM'd me. I would prefer to ship you the box and if your satisfied you send the money to the address that will be in the box. I have received several different price ranges for the stuff. Based on what you guys are telling me about $2.50 per 13 inch block and 2.25 for 8 inch sounds fair, with me taking on the shipping cost.
As far as color:
Obviously everyone wants the darker stuff. There are several, what I would consider to be dark, boards in the pile. Some of them are light colored but have some good yellow and pink colors to them. I will try to include some of the dark stuff in every box I send. If you get it and you're not happy then just send it back. I'm not a wood salesman and certainly not a the best judge of mineral stained poplar. All of it has some unique colors to it though. I appreciate you guys taking this stuff off my hands. Have a good one.
