Product was packaged way better than I expected, and the wood was just what I was hoping for. First time buyer but will be ordering more from them.
Familiarity: I haven't used it yet

Picture Frame Stock
Excellent to work with. Heavy stock..nice. Finishes well with an oil based poly. Customers love the end result, albeit a bit pricy. Well worth the cost. They offer 1.5 x 1.5 x 18 in already prepped stock. Would like to see it available ina 2 x 2 x 30 inch stock. Until then...will order the 8/4 stock.

Great Wood For Pistol Grips
This wood is great to work with. I've made several pistol grips from it and have had great results. I normally like to start with a couple of applications of clear Danish oil but that isn't a real good idea in this case. I darkens the wood to quickly and takes a lot away from the beautiful contrast of the light wood and dark grain. Just start with thin coats of laquer and while it does still darken a little bit, it is still gorgeous. One other note for finishing: when you finish sand if you sand with the grain only you will end up with the harder grain being slightly raised and still get a great finish. This has worked really well for me on pistol grips and knife handle as it gives a texture to the wood for a more confident gripping surface. Next project: a rifle stock for my wife! I have to earn those extra hours spent in the shop! :-)
