T.Oheir, Where are you getting those prices from???
WOW, I wish I could sell my walnut for that and almost all of my blanks are under $200.00 for a real nice piece thats done the old book way of air drying 1" per year in a controlled enviroment. I guess im going to have a price increase.LOL. One of the best investments for custom woodworking is a good duplicutter that copies most any stock contour either manually or digitally. I bought one a while ago and it works pretty good for most of the things I do with it. I saw one made by Sears thats great and copies off of your computer to any pattern that you can download on it.
