Need Scroll Saw Ready Boards?
I have partnered with heritage Wood Specialties for a few years now. I get a supply for their Scroll Saw Blanks every month and have always been pleased. When I choose a partner as a sponsor I try to select from companies who have been recommended to me by you guys. That's How I found Heritage Wood Specialties. It is a rare occasion that I receive an email telling me they were disappointed with Heritage Wood Specialties. They do a good job.
The scroll saw blanks are glued up panels in different sizes and thicknesses. The panels are color matched for a very even finished board. These panels give me the width and length of boards I need for larger projects.
Buying large, thin boards can be a problem. Wood moves with differences in humidity. Heritage Wood Specialties does a great job of getting me large boards that are still flat. Yes, they will sometimes ship boards with a little cup or twist. That's just the nature of wood. They do a great job of keeping this to a minimum. I can't remember that last board I received that I could not use.
Heritage Wood Specialties is a small customer oriented operation. They deliver a quality product at a reasonable price. They are not a mass market company with hundreds of board feet in inventory. Most of the time these boards will be made to order. They take a little longer but deliver a quality product.
If you need some nice boards then give them a try.
One not to remember when visiting the Heritage Wood Specialties Website. The little hamburger is where you click to see their products.
