The sawmill is not working anymore but they do a good bit of resawing. They have a number of kilns and an acclimating room to be the envy of any builder . I am most fortunate to be so close and get to be able to go in the plant when I have a chance.
As a repair center I get to see things you don't see in tours . It is a kick . I get to see a lot of the inside stuff .

No apologies necessary, I love to be able to laugh at myself, I actually appreciated that, that was spot on! Besides, I have thick skin, If I can dish it out I better be able to take it!

I've toured three times. I live about 5 miles away and it's a neat thing to do when company comes to town.

What are you gonna ask them, John?

John:

I took the tour last summer, got inspired, and came home from the tour looking for someone to help me near my home and found Blues Creek Guitars - you ever hear of them? :roll:
