There is a very high probability the wood is stressed during drying and the planer removes all the proof of it. And they want very high prices for many pieces that are completely unsuited for making a stock.


Good point. Some of their blanks are listed as kiln dried and others say that they are air dried. I found it a little confusing but they seemed to have a decent variety. I have never personally dealt with them.
