Washington Trip: Eden Saw and Grizzly Headquarters

[Turtlewood]

Hey All,

Just back from a trip last week to the outer islands of Washington State. Spent most of the time in Port Townsend, WA. Thought I'd post some woodworking related photos for y'all.

While there I was able to check out Eden Saw and Grizzly's headquarters.

Eden Saw was amazing. They have a large selection of planed lumber in a showroom (stacked vertically), but also a huge second warehouse of rough sawn lumber (stacked horizontally). So it looks like Eden saw won't be chiming in on the lumber storage thread :dontknow:.

Here is a link to their website:

Tons of imported stuff in addition to domestics. They also have a large selection of sequenced logs, as you can see in some of the photos.

I'll let the photos do the talking:

My new favorite import has got to be Sapele. Got to see a lot up close for the first time and really liked it. They had a huge stack marked quarter sawn select 8/4 which looked outstanding.

Also, as mentioned I had a chance to stop over at Grizzly's headquarters. Have to admit I found myself saying "Funny, I thought you'd be bigger." (can anyone guess that movie quote?)

But it was nice, though I couldn't buy much as I was flying back home. Just picked up a resaw fence for my bandsaw.

Here is a photo for proof:

Funny thing is, there's a bunch of beat up houses directly across the street. I assumed that it would be deep in an industrial park.

Overall, it was a good trip.

Thanks for looking,
-Kevin

That looks like an AWESOME trip! Too bad shipping is expensive huh? I bet they had some beautiful lumber.

Sounds like a great trip Kevin! The sequenced cut wood looks cool. I used to get up to Seattle now and gain, it's a beautiful area.

Kevin,

Your picture of the Grizzly HQ sign is misleading -- here is what is on their website... I've been to the Muncy, PA showroom on several occasions and it is impressive.
