I attended the auction of stock and fittings at Melbourne Furniture Timber today.
A small crowd attended including a few forum members
plenty of bargains but some prices were above retail (especially the wenge)
I didnt stick around to the end as had a prior commitment so dont know how it ended but there were a few big spenders buying up heaps so hopefully some of the stock will make it back to retail.
I managed to pickup a few boxes of samples plenty of pen blanks from some very varied spieces, according to Lester(owner) some of them go back over 50 years
Just have to think where I'll store them now.
