It isn't like I paid for bargain wood, this was hugely expensive!

The plywood holdings seemed to be predominantly 3/4" with at least one face a premium hardwood veneer. Most of the solid lumber is slabs cut from local native hardwoods, but there are some exceptional planks of tropical hardwoods, which can be priced in serious three figures. I am unable to determine how competitive the prices are. For many of the products stocked, one would otherwise have to go to Woodcrafters in Salem or the Portland retailers/wholesalers. This shop probably best serves local hobbyists for one-off projects, and there are also canes and other completed wood products for those seeking gifts. The owner is courtly.

Terrible customer service.

We picked several, gave her two phone numbers, & dimensions for our kitchen & she said that the person who deals with countertops would call us Monday. Monday rolled around & no call. We gave it a couple of days and nothing. So while returning samples we checked out, my husband told someone there (he thinks it's the owner) that we were waiting for quartz sample prices. She seemed to know that, said our info was on the person's desk. After a full week past when we were told we would be called, we called again, left a message, no response, called again & now got ahold of the person. He told us he was waiting for fabricators to get back to him. Never called back. So after 2 full weeks we don't have basic square foot pricing on countertop material. We have been to 2 other installers who have lists available when you walk into the store. It's ridiculous to not get this basic info to a customer or call them when you say you are going to. We won't be going back.

It's also helpful to bring cash to avoid the credit card fee (that ate my Veterans discount). Maybe you'll be able to find just the thing you didn't know you needed!
