Connecticut--Parkerville Wood Products

For those in Connecticut and the Pioneer Valley who miss Harris Enterprise,
Parkerville is finally open. Went by there today--didn't have the same huge
stock that Harris did but they're getting there. No credit cards
yet--that's still in progress. Prices seem reasonable

They had a nice shipment of Australian burls--not my cup of tea at the
moment but worth a look if you're into that, also a big pile of shorts that
they hadn't racked yet. May be getting some Jarrah in the next
shipment--been looking for that locally for a long time--the only source in
CT that I've been able to find sells big slabs for big bucks.

Note that I'm not associated with them in any way other than as a customer.

Prices are within pennies of CT Hardwood Group in Enfield. I'm planning to
get some wood tomorrow. Now, to decide where to go.

I've been watching the PWP website for 8 months, waiting for him to
open. <G>

I see that Dave was having problems getting proper electrical
service. Once he's fully functional, I'd expect he'll be pretty good
to deal with.

Did he move all of the finishing supplies from Harris?

About 3/10 mile from Harris Enterprise, in Manchester, CT. They have a Web
site < http://www.parkervillewoodproducts.com/ > that has directions.

I hit both yesterday and Woodcraft besides.

Each has some things that the other doesn't.

Be aware that Parkerville's web site doesn't accuratly reflect their current
stock.
