I have shopped here for years and used their products for a lot of things. Sorry to hear about this. I was just there 6 weeks ago and the selection was not great for what I needed. I doubt that the selection is better, but at that time there was no stock suitable for building solid Greenland paddles. They have/had the most beautiful, perfect stock of very wide 4/4 vertical grain stock in really long lengths. No help for strip building- but just saying.
