[QUOTE="Knifemaker, post: 1444562, member: 1075"] The wood for my cutting boards is all locally sourced. Everyone in the area knows to ask me if I want the wood for any tree they cut down. All the oak goes to a neighbor that burns it for heat. All the cedar and black walnut are cut to 4-6 ft logs that I take to a friend who has a sawmill that cuts them into planks to any thickness I want. The Hickory or fruit woods are cut and split by the guy that gets the oak for use in my smoker. So none of it really costs me anything, although I do slip the sawmill guy some cash for his time. All the wood for the knife handles comes mostly from Jantz supply, or my own stash of exotic woods I’ve collected through the years. ( I have a good size Black Walnut tree cut up waiting for a trip to the sawmill sitting in my driveway, that hopefully will yield some good pieces for Bounce’s cutting board) Not sure how much longer I’ll be making knives, as my eyesight through the years has worsened.
