               Thanks for the feedback. Oddly enough his material is what I'm 
complaining about. I buy a box and half is so wide grained it's unusable. 
I've also had a little ,not a lot of tuning pin tightness inconsistencies in 
his blocks. I'm trying to make sure the variable isn't mine. Overall I'm very 
satisfied with the maple blocks, it's really all I use. I'm currently trying 
a delignit block for the first time.
         Thanks >Dale Erwin
