I took a class there last month and we watched for about two hours as Steve cut up an African Blackwood log that was truly amazing. If you get the chance, trek on back when the mill is running. Call before you go and if they aren't sawing, ask them when they will be and go then.Chuck Benderhttp://www.acanthus.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-70491587432119000742009-10-31T13:39:16.242-04:002009-10-31T13:39:16.242-04:00Gary, no pictures, didn't happen. ; )

I would think that there would be similar businesses in most regions. <br /Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-80040424400517567202009-10-29T23:18:33.374-04:002009-10-29T23:18:33.374-04:00A pocketbook?
