I started off with Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or for the assignments, then massaged the results so you weren't sending a box to someone in the same part of the country.

Post here when you ship and again when your receive your wood.  Don't forget to thank your partner.

If you go to the Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or website, print a label and pay on line, you can save $1.35 medium or $2.10 large on the postage and have your carrier pick it up at your house.  There was a price increase the beginning of the month.

I repeat this part because it is so important.  Please follow the instructions.

IMPORTANT!!  PLEASE READ!!  There are lots of creepy crawlies that have infested much of our wood here in the USA.  Because of that fact, borders have tightened on raw wood.  Even within the country I understand that the PO is watching things a bit more closely.  Besides we don't want to be responsible for the spread of insects that can devastate our supply of raw material.  I would ask that everyone PLEASE remove all bark from your wood. Do NOT send any Walnut or Ash. Both woods are under various quarantines.  Do NOT ship any wood that has obvious borers, or other bugs, present.

I would further suggest that you fully tape all the seams and corners of the box so that any critters that do make it through your diligent inspection will be contained until it arrives at its destination.  If you used a sealer on the end grain, place the wood inside a plastic bag in the box.  The PO gets suspicious about boxes with oily residue.

When you receive your box, open it outside and thoroughly check for insects before you take it into your shop.

I sent a PM to Jeff, but no answer yet.
I don't have an address to send my box.

I just got a PM from Jeff with his address.  My box to him will be going out real soon.

I've got my box in the mail and on the way to the Lone Star State.

My two boxes are on the way.  According to USPS David McManaman & Patrick Norris should get their boxes on the 26th.

My box to Jeff in Michigan was mailed this morning.  The Post Office clerk said it would arrive on Saturday.

Purchased the postage online while creating the shipping label for Patrick Norris.  Pretty painless process and saved $2.10 on shipping by not going to the post office.  My wife will drop the box off tomorrow at the post office.
