People often ask me why I buy rough lumber. The reason is the beauty and variety available. I jointed and planed some Spanish Cedar this morning for a project, beautiful wood that I bought for a fair price at Ghent. For choices, quality, and helpful people out in the yard and in the office I like Ghent.
