<DIV><FONT face=Garamond color=#008080>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Garamond color=#008080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Garamond color=#008080>Received the two pieces of Swiss Pear
wood that I ordered. I ordered them as they were, finished on
one face and one edge -- they're both thick enough that we're going to need to
re-saw them, but hey, that means I get twice as many blocks :) .
However if you wish your wood more finished, for an extra charge you can have
your wood sanded, etc. Since these pieces need re-sawing, I didn't see
much point in that.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Garamond color=#008080>They had just installed or upgraded their
ordering system last week, which still had some bugs in it, so my internet order
wouldn't go through as a credit card order. So I put it in as a phone order to
hold the pieces, and then called them and left my name and number. They
called and got the order straightened out and the guy I talked to, Jared, was
able to get it out the door the same day that we talked. It's very pretty
wood :)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Garamond color=#008080>I'll be bringing one of them to EKU this
weekend, if anyone is coming and wants to see what Pear wood looks
like.</FONT></DIV>
