Was at TJ Maxx shopping with my wife, I was nosing around the home goods department when I saw this olivewood burl cutting board. It is 13x6" and almost 7/8" for $10. This is going to make some awesome reel seats!!

Pretty sure the only item I’ve ever scored at TJMaxx was underwear.

I will be stopping buy in the future looking for more. Olive lumber is normally expensive.

I can just see you there flipping through the cutting boards, seeing which one has the most figuring.

I put on presentations and I usually go to the HomeGoods and TJ Maxx searching for raffle prizes. I've seen olive cutting boards but never thought beyond whether or not to buy one for a prize.
LOL!
Bob, should I alert you if I spot some thicker olive boards in Johnstown? I'm sure you'll be able to get your wife to go with you when you explain the HomeGoods/TJ Maxx is next door to Bed Bath and Beyond and in the Richland Mall along with a Panera and a Walmart :)

Nice score! Might look good on, say, a McFarland 9'6" 4wt ;)

Looks like you got some rough dubbing material with it!

You're certainly on the cutting edge of reel seat manufacture.
