He could be like that 80s/90's movie Uncle Buck that starred John Candy and make oversized pancakes for them and such. Yeah that dates me but I don't care. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Konas 2,958 Posted November 14 So @Thomas Browne, we got in about 800 board feet of walnut today, the biggest order we have ever gotten. I was perusing some of the boards and found these. Hard to tell with just a rough cut on them but there is something special here. Let me know if you're interested. No pressure at all. Either way, thought it would be cool to post them as roughs and let everyone see how they turn out. Thomas, send me a note if you see something that speaks to you. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously - depending on whether I take a board or not - I'd say you want this to definitely be something to show off those pieces - so no big sculpts. No dragon/rolling tray. I'd say probably AC, unsculpted screen or deck jacket to show off the wood best. Maybe XL LG or XL DS for smaller pieces. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or if you were to make another skirmish box out of really pretty stuff, I would buy it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WxCougar 1,684 Posted November 14 Agree on the XL LG or XL DS. A plain GM screen would be cool too. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thomas Browne 1,701 Posted November 14 So thank you @Konas for the preview and the thought - but as discussed.. not quite what I'm looking for. Still I can't wait to see what you make out of them. They're going to be beauties. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
