Actually, I don't sell much wood anymore. My very best sale wound up being my very worse sale. I visited Butch Sercy at his old California address and he badly needed blanks for the very fine double rifles he makes. He only had 4 left. I traded him for something like $40,000 worth of double rifles (3 of them). He told me he would get right on them since I was getting him out of a negative situation. When the last of the guns was received, it was about 3 years later. When I complained about the time it took, he told me "Well, you only traded." I have not talked to him since.
The trade took all my English and no money came in to replace it. If the guns would have been received in a reasonable period of time, it would have been a great deal. As it was, I was basically out of business for three years and lost my old customers. So my best (potential) deal wound up being a business killer.
I come across some nice wood now and then but basically supply friends who need a blank here and there.
