bad wood seller

[Mungo Park]

Not sure where to post this and if this isn't the proper place please move and/or delete as you see fit.

People have been scammed by a user who shows outstanding pics of wood (using the same pics as before) on his site.

There is a fellow who is offering some nice looking wood for knife scales. Only problem is he takes your $$$ and you never see the timber, or he sends you some crap.

In the past he has sold with the name of IPOPPERWOODS or CLEAR CREEK LUMBER and now has a new ad going under the name of Pen and Knives dot COM.
Sad that the net has people like this.
Cheers Ron.

This will probably get moved to "the good, the bad, and the ugly" subforum... But personally I like to see these threads HERE as I think they will be seen by more makers in this forum and help more makers to avoid a bad supplier.

Thanks for the heads up.

98% of my wood is purchased from Alpha Knife Supply and Mark at BurlSource. I've recently gotten some wood from HouseofBurl that is excellent, and Larry just sold me some burl that I'm stoked to get.

My point? I'm specifically pointing out folks that have done me right and I'm confident will do others right.
