Our October 13 guild meeting will be an “Open Forum on Wood with Steph Baxter” He will be able to address almost any subject you would like to cover about wood.

This is your opportunity to get answers to your questions about selecting wood, cutting wood to achieve the best figure, dealing with difficult milling, or whatever is on your mind.

Steph is a custom sawyer who specializes in burls, figured, rare and Hawaiian woods. He has a scientific background that he brings to his self taught knowledge of wood. He has the ability to “read wood” and mill it for its unique qualities. He has built mills and specialize equipment, run a millworks business and taught classes.

He travels the world to acquire these unique and rare woods, ships the material to his mill in North Bend, saws and dries the wood to get the greatest value for his customers/clients.
