Stopped by on my way home to Alabama to purchase wood for my husband to use in his shop. I'm not very knowledgeable about how wood is measured, species, etc. The gentleman (forgot his name) who helped me was patient, professional, very knowledgeable, and helped me find a variety of wood to purchase. Their prices, quality, and service are all outstanding. They even cut the boards to fit in my SUV.
Next time I travel back to the area, I'll be stopping by again. If you need ANYTHING custom made, this place does AMAZING work. When I first arrived, I went into their showroom and looked at all the wonderful pieces they've created. The prices are very reasonable and the craftsmanship is outstanding. Thank you for a great shopping experience and the beautiful wood for my husband!

If i wanted to be treated like an idiot i'd stay home. Stopped in to buy some wood carving tools. When I asked about spoon knives the clerk said you mean something else. I saaid no spoon knives that are own your website. So he had to look them up. He troied to sell me some curve knives but didn't have a spoon knife. Acted like I was weird for not wanting anything he had. He said all the crackers he knows don't use spoon knives.

Paul and his staff are great! I'm a weekend woodworker so I'm buying in small batches. Paul is always helpful in talking through the project and making suggestions on how to pick quality boards or the best type for the project. Then he'll leave me alone to find what I want. It's also a very cool place. I'm lucky he's nearby, but I'd drive along way to get the service, quality and pricing!
