Exclamation trying to sell basswood

Hello, my brother and I just recently purchased Itasca Wood products -a small northern mn. based company. It was doing well before but has been closed for over a year. We have exeptional quality wood at great prices, but business is slow. We need help. We're online and ready to serve the carving community. Any orders or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Sincerly, Mark.

Mark,

I wasn't aware that anyone had purchased Itasca Wood Products. I thought it was still down because of health reasons. I was a regular customer, as were several members of our carving group. When the previous owners closed it down they asked if anyone wanted to be contacted when they reopen for business. To that I answered YES, but have not been contacted. I suspect that non of the old customers were contacted. The Basswood was of exceptional quality and very reasonable prices. I for one will be placing orders again, and will pass the information on to other members of our carving group.

Well I made an order last month and things were fine. Good prices, reasonable delivery time, and good wood. And if it wasn't for this forum, I wouldn't have known about you to begin with. I only knew you were back in business because I got an e-mail.

Good luck!

I get my Diamond Willow from them and was glad to hear they have opened. Beautiful wood. I've delt with them for years and don't see any change in service, it's still great. Merle
