This Friday and Saturday, Midwest Woodworking will be holding what is likely its last wood sale – plus veneers and most of the machinery on the shop floor.
The sale is 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. both days. Midwest is located at 4019 Montgomery Road in Cincinnati, Ohio. Here’s a Google Map.
Both Andy Brownell and I have spilled so many ones and zeros on Midwest, I hope I don’t have to repeat myself. It will be worth the drive. Yes, the wood is well-priced. But what is more important is that it is primo. Much of it is decades old, dry, stable and mild. And it has been stored flat.
Stuff from modern lumberyards (at least the ones around here) just does not compare.

I’ll be there both days, sweating my hairy parts off in preparation for a 2 p.m. beer at Gordo’s across the street.

sounds like a great place for Lost Art Press to call home. Any possibility of that happening?
No chance. The building is optioned. Plus, it would need about a bazillion dollars of work to be a home and publishing company.
“…sweating my hairy parts off…”
That there is your problem, Chris. Your pants appear to be made out of hair. Well, that and the fact that you’re wearing pants in the first place. Kilt up and cool down!
Who knew? “Kilt” is now a verb!
It is a versatile word as well as a versatile garment. 😉
Wow, that looks like a real treasure trove. Wish I was there!!
Will they take credit cards?
I found my answer.
I’m late to the party and out of range of the sale to boot. Are they moving or going out of business? Hopefully the former and not the latter. There’s just not enough good places to buy good wood, especially around my parts.
