    Sorry to hear about such a loss as Riley has always shipped good materials for my needs.

    What other supplier is available who sorts the material for “contest” grade versus general use wood?

    All,
    I just received a shipment from them, service was so, so. They are trying to get back to their “normal” business after such a long time off. Wood was mixed but priced well. If not Lonestar who for good wood?

    I have had excellent results from National Balsa, and also from Tim Goldstein.
