steven kincaid from reelseatblanks sent me some samples of turning blanks he has to try. these are stabilized 1.5" turning squares he has them in 6" and 12" lengths.. he sent me some fiddleback maple, crotch cherry , and spalted black ash burl. this wood is fantastic with very great grains and figure. my mind is spinning as i try to think of projects to use these for. i will try to have something with them for the show for those attending to see(i had an injury and it has set me back a bit). i suggest if you have any projects where wood is involved you should give these guys a chance.

I would have to echo Johns sentiment. I have received some wood from Steve as well. The wood has very nice grain, color and is stabilized all the way through. They also have a very good selection of unstabilized wood at a great price. You can't ask for a better person to deal with. I have a sample of his unstabilized wood in my gallery [www.rodbuilding.org] it is great quality wood. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/30/2008 09:16AM by mark blabaum. Re: wood from reelseatblanks

I too have bought from them in the past and have been more than pleased... i've also received "samples" of other woods in some orders which was a very nice surprise. Was a VERY pleasant person to deal with. Re: wood from reelseatblanks

I have seen his home page and I don't see any of the square blanks, do I need to email them for the prices or a catalog? Re: wood from reelseatblanks

Tim: We are in the process of updating our website to include the larger pieces. We will be adding a "Group 4" and "Group 5", one for stabilzed wood, one for unstabilized. If you have an immediate need, please send me an email and we'll do whatever we can to help you now. We have some of the stabilized wood in stock, a BUNCH more out being stabilized and dyed and stabilized. We hope to have this up and running on the web within the next couple of weeks. Thanks for the question and your support!!

Steve,
I'll agree with the other posters, the merchandise looks fantastic. Can you comment on the suitability of your stabilized wood for use in salt water reel seats and handle accents? thanks much. Re: wood from reelseatblanks

Matt: We use 2 different stabilizing companies and they are both excellent. The process they use to stabilize our wood makes it resistant to temperature changes, humidty extremes, U.V. light, saltwater and many oils and solvents. It's probably the best protection you can give to a chunk of wood that will be used out in the elements. Cripe, I sound like a commercial! So be it. Give our sticks a shot when you have a need, you won't be disappointed. We unconditionally gaurantee everything we sell. Thanks for the question, I hope this helps.
