Hi, I'm building this for our daughter:


I really don't want to go buy a 8/4 board to turn the legs.  (I realize I could glue up some scrap 4/4, but I'd rather go the solid wood route).  I figure they're about 7-8" long.  I've got a small piece of cherry for one of the legs, just need a 'lil bit for 3 more legs.  I've raided my scrap pile but I don't have any 8/4 scraps.

Do you have any small cherry blocks laying around you don't want?  H-ell, I'll even mail you a box and include a ton of stamps (father was a stamp collector) for you to mail me the blanks back in.  I like the word "free" but if you need a little $$$ I'll include a check for the agreed-upon amount.

Please let me know.  thanks!

I've got some. I'll check after work and let you know. Free for the wood if you cover shipping from Columbus, Ohio.

If nothing here pans out, the Got Wood? guys have kiln-dried cherry in 2.5x2.5 and 3x3 spindle blanks in their bargain bin.

If it doesn't work out, let me know - I have some nice 8/4 and I can cut some scrap to size for you. Shipping would be from California, but no cost for the wood.

Thanks,
John

I looked through my pieces and only have 4/4. It's great to have folks around here willing to share

I believe I have some 8/4 around, I would have to go down to the barn and look at the pile. 
If other offers do not work out, please let me know.
