First rate wood!, 2.13.2012

Reviewer: Schade (Bishop, CA)

The squares were straight, clear and exactly as promised. I needed 29.5 inch legs for my project. I cut 1/4 inch of each end and they were ready to go.

Reviewer: Kenneth G. Davis (Van Nuys, CA)

Thanks for the follow up. I did receive the materials and they look nice. Unfortunately, since the ends of the turning squares weren't sealed, one of the squares had a split on one end that runs in about 6". No big deal, that blank will have to become a few pepper mills or, a bunch of bottle stoppers. The wood looks nice, with some interesting grain detail. Looking forward to turning it.
