Finally have a chance to share some good fortune that came my way.
Found a woodworker who was moving and selling many of his tools and
wood to lighten the load.
Picked up the following
Soft Maple for $1/BF. Down in Florida the best price I found was
$4.5/BF.
Walnut for $2/BF
And the best for last, he had some 4'x8' sheets of Birds Eye Maple
veneer plywood! Thes go for $400 a sheet new. I bought one for
$100. That is a true tresure. Going to use the birds eye and soft
maple for a bed, with Birds Eye panels.
Still happy from the buys and looking forward to putting it to use once
I get the confidence to cut the ply!

Good for you! But you normally have to pay $400 for Birds Eye Maple
plywood???? That's $12.50 per square foot. I think I can buy solid wood
Birds Eye Maple for less than that.

One time, I found an "odd" sheet of the maple/birch ply at
HD for $30. It was a fairly nice sheet of BI on one side.
Made my surround speakers from it:

I guess that sucks even better than $100/sheet.
