Hi everyone!
Sorry I've been gone for such a long time, but some pretty heavy stuff has been coming our way, and I just could not keep up. We had a death, I had some broken bones, my red blood cells were out of whack etc, etc.

But that's all in the past and the Lord saw me through it. (IMHO) So I hope you will welcome me back into the fold because there is no other forum like this one. I won't be sponsoring for a while. Just can't afford it after the last few months. But I've still got my site.

I've missed this forum so much. All of you guys have been so great with your info and products and I'm glad to be back. I spoke with Shane today from High Mountain Tonewood and he said that I should really post something as there was a thread going around wondering where I was. So, since things seemed to have calmed down in our lives for the moment this is to let you know that I haven't kicked the bucket yet, but I'm still kickin'!

Thank you all for your concern and please accept my apology for not keeping up with my post. It was just too much at the time.

God Bless
Doug

Glad to hear that the waters are smooth again. Hope they stay that way for a long while.

You've got walnut?? What kind of walnut? So.... tell me about this walnut you have just over there.

The Walnut won't be coming in for a while but when it does it will be full of flame (curly)

The Maple I will get will be choice Quilted. Be a while though. But I will let every one know as soon as I get these woods.
