Hello!
My name is Matt James, and I am reaching out to request your assistance with selling
my father’s tool and wood collection. My father, Randy James, was an avid woodcarver and woodturner in Central Ohio who was active in a local group of carvers he met through classes at Woodcraft. Over the years, he developed considerable skill and produced many impressive works which we will always cherish. He assembled a large, high-end tool collection and substantial number of exotic woods (cocobolo, ebony, rosewood, bocote, wenge, African blackwood, purpleheart, bubinga, leopardwood, snakewood, etc) as well as basswood and diamond willow walking sticks.
Unfortunately, my father has developed dementia recently and is now in long-term care.
To pay for his care and prepare the home for sale, we must liquidate the woodworking
collection. We have placed the entire tool collection with American Eagle Auction
Company, which will hold an auction at 20060 US Route 23 North, Circleville, Ohio
43113 on Sunday, March 24 at 8:00am. An inventory of my father’s tools and photos of
his wood, tools, and a few representative carvings of his work are attached. These will
be sold as part of a larger tool auction by American Eagle.
We will also hold an exotic carving and turning wood liquidation sale at his home at 238 Briarbend Boulevard, Powell, Ohio 43065 on Sunday, April 7 from 10:00am to 3:00pm. There are approximately 8 36x18x18 plastic totes of various sizes of wood along with some larger pieces (please see attached pictures). Wood will be priced at approximately 50% of retail.
We would greatly appreciate it if you would circulate the attached auction/wood sale notice, pictures, and auction inventory to your members. If you have any questions, you can contact me at 612-224-0754 or mattjamesx9@gmail.com. Thanks for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Matt James |
