Jeff

We've been tossing the idea around of warming up the Forum Auction software and having a few support Auctions. Burlkraft is in the midst of creating something great for an upcoming auction, so we wanted to get things started with something else first.

I posted a photo of this tapestry awhile back. Is there enough interest in it to use it as an Auction item?

I wish I had the wall space in my office.

That's a beautiful tapestry Jeff, and it should do well in the auction, unfortunately (for me) I don't have enough wall space to hang it!

Wish I did.

It should bring a good bid!

Ive watched this sence Jeff made the post and fell it would be alot of fun but after sending a few items by mail it cost alot to ship things anymore and wonder if that would kill the whole idea.

There's a fine line between turning firewood into beautiful things and beautiful things into firewood.

I talked with Kevin at LogRite yesterday. He is building the final parts for the .......Great Forestry Forum Auction to Pay For The Pig

We will be auctioning a stool. Scott Smith made a beautiful Q. sawn oak nut and wooden screw. I have turned a massivly burled redwood round seat and Kevin is making the stand with legs. All made from LogRite cant hook material. It will be one of a kind and it should pay for the pig at this year's roast.

Jeff was just tryin' to warm ya'll up with this auction to get ya'll in the money spendin' mood. That's an awesome tapestry. I have never seen another like it and if ya collect old loggin' stuff you need to own that one for sure.  ;D

I have some partial pics of the stool, but I'm gonna wait till it's done and then post 'em

So save yer pennies and get ready cuz this piece is gonna be awesome and I don't want anyone to miss out!!!
Why not just 1 pain free day?

I like the tapestry and will bid on it as a gift for a friend's home.  The Mrs said it doesn't fit our decor although she does like it.

Regarding the stool, I will definitely bid on it.  BK, any idea how you are going to be able to safely ship it should, say, someone from Alaska be the high bidder?  ;)

Warbird, Burlkraft will be the first to tell you that he and UPS are pretty tight.  ;D ;D

Just hope the auction item isn't a box of turnip seed, masquerading as the family jewelry box. I'll spare you the story behind that. But there was a lot of laughs at that auction. ;)

Chanting is something BeenThere picked up in the early 70's while he was at Berkeley protesting  :D  :D  :D  :D

Jeff, if it's on here I did not see it. Will PAYPAL be used or another method of payment?

Thanks!

P.S. This might turn into something where you will need a full staff around the clock!  :)
The older I get I wish my body could Re-Gen.

Jeff

You can pay by what ever method is convenient. Paypal is probably the most convenient for me.  Shipping can't be figured until we know where it's going anyhow.  :)

Should I fill it out again or will this screw things up?

Thank You Sponsors!
