   Where are you located, Kovr?  I'm on Bainbridge Island, so shop at both Crosscut and Edensaw, depending on whether I want a boat ride or a car drive, and what kind of wood's on my list.

   The Edensaw store in Port Townsend has a huge (huge) warehouse!  Crosscut's prices tend to be a bit better, but Edensaw sometimes has a better selection of big slabs.

   Thanks. I'm on Vancouver Island (Canada). Haven't had any luck with my usual local suppliers and figured I may as well check out some places when I visit a friend in Seattle this weekend.

   Crosscut would certainly be the most convenient!  If you feel like a country drive, though, you could take a ferry and visit Port Townsend (great place to visit this time of year).  Leave time to have lunch (or breakfast) at the Spruce Goose Cafe.  And, if you happen to be into vintage planes, visit the plane museum -- they just moved into their new building.  Great place -- youngsters interning with the oldsters to learn how to care for, refurbish, and even fly, old planes.forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)

   Hi, Jammer.  Fletcher Bay, yes -- I ride and serve as assistant trainer at Barnabee Stables, right across from the "jiffy mart" (now a Texaco, and there's a great Thai restaurant there now).  How long's it been since you were on Bainbridge?

   What're you up to woodworking-wise these days?forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)

   "How long's it been since you were on Bainbridge?What're you up to woodworking-wise these days?"It's been a long time. I was a general contractor, retired due to heart problems, then there were other problems, and all in all I've finally just started back in working with tools.Haven't worked with tools in, I'd say, 10 years, easy, between being a Very Important Executive (eyeroll) and the hospital.So I'm starting off slow-- going to build a bench, an outfeed table, and make a box or something.What are you up to?
