Thanks Airborn. I found it, half it it is here and the other half I purchased tonight. When it gets here, I'll decide if I made the right choices, then forward it on to Cappy to find out if I REALLY made the right choices.
Agreed. That was very good of him to fit you in the next batch!I for one am happy to be delayed until batch #10. It gave me more time to find wood like I like. I just hope it's suitable. If it's not, it's going to make an awesome paper weight!
This one was sallies 6000th post
That's sad and funny at the same time landlord. More sad maybe.
not really i bought to be my top and bottom cap, but its stabilized.. Cappy no like stabilized...
Okey dokey, here are the final pics although I have not yet had them under the buffing wheel;

Thanks for the props & recognition Cappy. Much appreciated.
Wished I had the time to be here more often with you and all yer great crew.
what kind of stabilization? There are two types. He mentioned open cell, but closed cell stabilization might be different.
I totally would as I'll have both types of RSM and don't need so many atty holes, but I was thinking it'd be quite late to ask since you're planning on shipping them on Tuesday. Plus I didn't want to add any more non-paying work.
Well I'm off to dream about RSM mods. Thankfully I'm off tomorrow. Yawl have a good one.
Easily done, 15 minutes of work and ta-da! (I spaced the new RSM slot so I can just route a new hole right over the existing atty holes and not do a whole new one).
One of my worries with any stabilized wood is if its too big a piece it can hide many voids and stuff, not good. All the mods I make now are 2x1" and if you get a piece 5 1/2" tall minimum I can make any mod from that. Of course a bit bigger than 2x1 would be preferable as smaller than those dimensions would make it not usable.
Also, when it comes to stabilized wood, it needs to be densely filled or the wood is going to be soft and kinda mushy when I cut into it. It will suck up alot of finish and still be a bit weak when done, especially the thin door.
If you get it and it feels very light like balsa wood, then I am probably gonna have problems with it.
In the future when I get wood that I don't like the feel of, I will just send it back with an apology methinks

The wood I bought is not stabilized, and I am hoping it's okay. However, I don't want to just assume, so I like your deal but I'll do you one better. Don't even send it back, just send a PM and ask me which of your wood choices I want to go with.

That seems extremely fair. It would suck to spend the time working it only to find that you wasted your time. Fwiw, if he got the wood where I think he did, it feels like a brick.
Yepper thats where i got it, but decided not to use it.. ill figure out something to do with it..
Thats been asked before, Pink Ivorywood is the only thing I can come up with and that is very pricey. I am having a hard time finding more Ziricote atm for the next batch and may not be able to offer it. Is the price of wood going up for some reason? Arrrr, bored people snowed in buying it up for hobbies methinks......
