I had never heard of this place and Michelle (here) was asking if anyone knew anything about them. I looked them up and found they were just down the road from where I was going to be for a few days in Florida, so I went on a field trip. Steve and Dianne are super nice people with a great selection of wood, and you should check them out if you're looking for green wood ready to ship. They have a lot more blanks than I'm posting.
Steve took me over to his lathe area, showed me some nice pieces he's turned and gave me the history of why a SW form seedpot has such a small hole. I could have stayed all day and yacked, but they probably would have put me to work......
Always nice to get some face time with folks you do business with and I encouraged them to join in over here and maybe get involved.

ps - I got a nice selection of various maples, rosewood, NIP, red gum and pecan. I paid regular prices, no discount and I am not affiliated with them.
Oh yeah, there's some scrap Ipe pieces my cousin found that I should be able to get a pen or 2 out of.(shown with "my wood")
