About Us

We are a growing company located in the piedmont region of South Carolina midway between Anderson, Greenville, Augusta and Columbia. We've been in business since December of 2005, when a newly acquired wood lathe sent us searching for pieces of wood to turn. We looked in many different stores. We looked on the internet. We glued pieces together to get bigger blocks. It was just so difficult to find any decent sized pieces of turning stock!

That's when we started cutting our own blanks using our chainsaw, a portable planer, and an old Craftsman bandsaw we had. We soon started cutting more pieces for ourselves, and one day decided to try selling a piece or two on Ebay. Then we sold more. And more. Needless to say, we've grown considerably since then. After selling countless turning blanks we now have a sawmill, an inventory of logs to choose from, a fully operational shop, lots of customers, a web site, and more. WOW!

Things sure are different now...but one thing does remain the same. We love what we do, and if you decide to give our products a try, we know that the passion we have developed will show up in every piece of wood you'll purchase. If you disagree, we'll gladly get you fixed right up.

Now that you know a little about us, here's an introduction to our staff here (both of us!):

Our Shop
Turning Blank Storage
Nicknamed the "candy store" by our shop's visitors, this is where we maintain our inventory of well over 10,000 individual turning blanks.
Lathe
This is our newest lathe...the wonderful Powermatic!  This beauty has some great features:  solid, heavy duty construction, infinitely variable speed control, 20" swing over lathe & plenty of power.  If you ever get the chance to use one or buy one, we highly recommend it!
Thickness Planer
This is our Jet 16" thickness planer with custom built roller stand.  We use this to bring all of our board stock to precise thickness before further processing into bowl and spindle blanks.
Bandsaws
These are our three 18" bandsaws that we use constantly.  The Rikon in the foreground has an attached sliding table, which is used for cutting large slabs into individual blocks for bowls.  The leftmost Jet is outfitted with a 3/8" blade and does all of our circle cutting.  The Jet bandsaw in the middle is outfitted with a 1" blade for ripping spindle stock quickly and efficiently.
Sawmill
We run a TimberKing 1600 portable bandsaw mill, where we saw each log into the slabs that will later be turned into blanks.
Dry Kiln
The WoodMizer VacuKiln 2000 is the newest addition to our arsenal.  As soon as it is up and running, you will start seeing kiln dried woods up for sale!
