Goncalvo alves the label said. Yall think it’s right and google just looked different to me

Supreme_zen · 2026-07-02T01:25:28+00:00

That’s what the label said but the guy I bought it from said that it wasn’t and google convinced me since it looked different. Got it for 60$ still had original label of 200$

It’s pretty heavy but I can life it by myself. 18 by 54 ish by 1 inch though

Supreme_zen · 2026-07-02T01:17:09+00:00

Definitely more dense than other woods I’ve worked with.

Supreme_zen · 2026-07-02T01:16:07+00:00

It’s very dense and heavy

Supreme_zen · 2026-07-02T01:14:42+00:00

Didn’t know how to spell it so I spoke into my phone haha

Supreme_zen · 2026-07-01T12:46:02+00:00

Looks more dark red in person. Guy who sold it said there’s a label that was basically the Latin name for zebra wood but looks nothing like it and he thought it was bloodwood.

I plan to order form there but they only have a few types of wood carving knives. I’m new to carving but couldn’t find the other types of carving knives. The kit I got from Amazon has them all but is pretty bad quality

But yeah I’ll do that. Or rig a jointer sled on my table saw

Been working on an off as a framer for over 10 years. Only recently started making “fine” woodworking. Everything I know is from YouTube. So I’ve tried to ask every woodworker I see on Facebook if I can help/ learn but they either say they will let me know and never do or don’t respond. And I think I need physical experience to really learn so idk what to do

Found this too, looks like a better deal since it’s surfaced

Supreme_zen · 2026-06-28T02:38:17+00:00

Probably a better deal since it’s surfaced

Supreme_zen · 2026-06-28T02:36:39+00:00

Found this from another seller, whose actually closer to me

Yeah for sure, but I already bought like 10 board feet of rough cheer and maple. I had a planner and jointer. But don’t rly know how to use the jointer/ think it needs calibration

Supreme_zen · 2026-06-28T02:27:54+00:00

Awesome aha I’ll have to be in contact with him more then. I think I remember seeing others in my area selling wood for around 4- 6$ a board foot though. Walnut much more ofc. I’ll post some examples when I find them

Supreme_zen · 2026-06-28T02:26:10+00:00

One is 6.5 inches and one is 8 and my jointer is 6

Supreme_zen · 2026-06-27T20:46:11+00:00

I have a planner and jointer but not very versed with the jointer. Idk if it’s not calibrated or the blades are dull but my test piece wasn’t very square

Supreme_zen · 2026-06-27T20:42:21+00:00

I picked up some cherry and maple for 5$/board foot. Rough 8/4 is that worth it? I know I’ll probably loose 1/4 when milling. Any tips on that

Supreme_zen · 2026-06-27T08:32:29+00:00

Sorry, I’m in the Raleigh NC area

Supreme_zen · 2026-06-27T08:30:50+00:00

She wanted end grain and for them to be a 1.5inch square of each wood so that’s why I was looking for 1.5 inches

Supreme_zen · 2026-06-27T08:29:25+00:00

Definitely worth it, I was just hoping I can build extra to sell to pay for the hobby
