since there are no comments on this post, I am going to assume the contest end date and draw date are in error. this blog post came to me on May 30th, but the draw ends may 8th? hopefully it was a typo and I have time to enter the giveaway.
I would love to read this book and if I don't win it I will have to add it to my woodwork reading wishlist.
Thank you for your consideration and the opportunity,
Jim/Bear
As a new woodworker, I'd love to get more ideas on how to stretch my wood budget!
I really need this book - hope it has ideas on a lumber drying shed :)
A unique and important subject. All woodworkers need this book, including me.
Cheers --- Larry
Please let it be me.
thanks
Sounds like a very useful book! Here's to hoping it's coming my way...
I'd love this book, please count me in
Looks good - count me in please
count me in
Hope they mean June. Anyway It is nice to offer the books for giveaway.
I'm already turning into a lumberman in my quest to keep my woodworking costs down. Might be a useful read.
This could be the one.
nothing beats more working knowledge. Mr Wells, what did you do with the keyy to the time machine so we can go back to the begining of May
Might be fun.
I sure would love some tips on how to save some money while still being able to do woodworking.
Definitely a topic of interest and one for which I don't have a book in my library.
I'm thinking it was a typo.
I can always use more wood, and more books.
June 7th is a Monday...right ;) count me in
Thanks
Here's me crossing my fingers! Count me in too.
looks like a very good read to me.
Opps. Yes it was a typo! The contest ends on June 7th. Sorry for the confusion.
Will the random picker smile on me this time?
Looks interesting!
If I win, I will report.

I'm interested in this too. I have a friend with a wood lot, and between the two of us we could probably make good use of this information.
Would love to have a copy of this book. Thanks!
This would make a great addition to the library
Looks like a good book
Anything that saves money in our economy is a boon. I have been frugal all of my life, but my wife calls the collection junk.
Every woodworker should have this information.
I'd love to give this a read; saving money on material means more tools!
Looks like a great book to have in these days of diminishing resources.
This book sounds like it would answer several of my questions. #1. What to do with all the trees cut to make room for my house. They have been drying for 4-6 years.
This book appears to be most useful for those of us who squeak when we walk( me included). Recently, with a sharp eye, I've found a couple of large pieces of dried Walnut logs that have yielded some really interesting figured lumber. I hope this book will help me find more, and stretch my WW budget, too.
This is something I have been interested in for some time, I'm
in!
Thanks
