I was extreme happy with my order and all the help from Cameron. also wasn't sure how to say some of the wood I was looking for. not only were they nice enough to explain but also knowledgeable enough to tell me how it would turn out and all the up's and down's about the wood. also made a couple of suggestions about some other woods for the project I was commissioned to do.
