New hardwood source

Anyone tried West Penn Hardwoods? They seem to have a really broad selection. Wonder how nice the finish is, etc?

I’ve bought some exceptionally rare salvage woods from them, and they were reasonably priced and timely so while I haven’t purchased any laser-appropriate materials from them I would feel reasonably safe doing so.

I wouldn’t rely on a finish, however, as their market is in woodworking so most of their customers probably want to finish things themselves.
