Just spent about a half hour poking around this website.

Some really beautiful woods.

I found it a little awkward getting around the site.
And, I never did find pictures of individual boards with prices....

Phil,

Click on "Our Woods" at the top, which will pop up a menu. At the bottom of the list you'll see "Price List"

I gotta admit, their boards are pricey, although beautiful... I guess I am too used to Bohnhoff prices :)

Gilmer Woods has a much better selection and is much closer. Plus there are enough local mills to get quilted/curly/spalted/burl maple, madrone and others for a much better deal.

Closer to Washington State. Not closer to me :rolleyes:. The trouble with California is it is so darn lonnnnng. If you're in SoCal, even San Franciso is far away, let alone Portland Oregon :D.

Damon bought one of my lightly used machines and I tool advantage of the opportunity to deliver it so I could tour his digs. I took the car and left the truck behind in self-defense. What a mistake . . What a collection of wood-porn; just beautiful stuff. He is positioned to sell large quantities to commercial accounts but, also sells to individuals. Therefor, you won't see a particular board priced for $X.00 and so forth on his website like some others. A lot of his stuff is forest cut and shipped directly to his warehouse. He surfaces a few boards here and there so you can see what you're looking at. He also has long experience with the materials so he can give you a good idea of what a one batch of coca bola might finish up like as opposed to another. If you are in SoCal, he is close by and a genuinely nice guy to talk with. Give him a call if you have any questions.
