At work we use kiln dried maple in our transformers. This is top quality wood that is used in oil filled transformers and I have stocked up on scrap cutoffs. I have given a bunch of this away in the past to bait makers. Very hard wood.

I have lengths up to 3ft and thick. Most is 1 3/4 " thick but I just got a pile that is 3/4 thick. Boards are very smooth and pure. I have about 100 or more.

Is there any interest in this wood to any of you guys. I know it's great for signs, cutting boards, lures, etc.

I could bring it to the Milwaukee show if any one is interested in working out a deal. I am not looking for $$$ but maybe a swap or something. If your interested in this I will put up a few pictures for you to see. This is top quality wood. Maple.

Here is a few pictures of the wood I posted. Since I can't edit the last post I will add them here. The lures are Slammers baits(drop belly and 7-inch) for size reference.
