I shared this with Chris and others because I want Midwest WW to stay in business so I can buy there in the future.
I was there this past weekend and took some more photos and shot a quick video of their machine room (one of several). Check it out and get over there to buy some wood. Their 10/4 ribbon stripe sapele is killer!

Admittedly, I’m a new-ish woodworker, but I do not understand why you wouldn’t want to share wood sources. If a business does an excellent job and makes you a happy customer, wouldn’t you want to support them? To send more customers their way? To help make sure they stay in business? I sure would.

Kudos to Chris for sharing this with us. Doubly so, because I live in Ohio. Hopefully I can make it down to Cincinnati sometime to check out Midwest Woodworking :0)

Thanks for the information. Will be sure to visit soon. Hopefully before the schwarz-effect kicks in.

For those of you interested in checking out what the wood from Midwest Woodworking looks like when finished, take a look at the follow-up post I made here: http://wp.me/p1Cera-av

Big thanks as always to Frank David @ Midwest Woodworking and Chris Schwarz.

Wow! This looks like a treasure.
You Sir, are a Gentleman and a Scholar!

By the way, when I was trying to find a local source a couple of years ago you recommended Frank Miller Lumber at 1690 Frank Miller Rd. in Union City. They have since been a great source of figured maple for me. They can be trusted to select good boards over the phone (I know…blasphemy!), and they deliver to Louisville!
Thanks, Chris.

If a file with irreular (random) teeth cuts smoother, would a handsaw with irregular teeth cut smoother? Another get rich scheme shattered.

Might have to see if they ship!
