Here's a good guy to deal with Cecil Fredi in Las Vegas.  More wood than you can imagine.  ....Tom

Does he have a grading system for curl and figure? That looks like a good price!

In my dealing with him, he's more then fair, seems he gives a grade or so above what you expect for the money. Him & his crew go to N. Cal. & S. ORE. to get & cut the wood, all blanks are selected by Cecil.  Look at his page, he shows some nice grades.  I've used his walnut, maple, myrtle, have a burl red madrona I'm looking forward to working on.   ....Tom

Go to his gallery page and check out the pictures of from stump to stock. Very cool pictures with some daredevil chainsaw work.
