I can buy a trailer full of rough cut oak for that and still have money left for a Whopper and fries.
It's tough around here!!!

Scott, exotics are beautiful but a good looking piece of oak crafted with love and inspiration is like comfort food......it just seems right. Some of the best looking furniture / tables/ cabinets I've seen are made out of good ole American oak. I'm sure you have some wild ideas floating around in that noggin of yours and I look forward to seeing your work.
