Greetings. I will be in Eugene Oregon later this month. Mainly to work on my daughters recently purchased home. While there, it would be nice to visit any interesting woodworking establishments, artesian woodworking exhibits, or local hardwood saw mills that sell to hobbyists. Anyone in the Eugene area have any suggestions? Will have transportation so driving a bit wouldn't be a problem. Thanks, Mike
Tree Products over on Irving sells hardwood, and Crosscut Hardwoods recently (well, within the last ten years anyway) opened up a store here. The Eugene Planing Mill shut down a while back, with REI and a few other specialty stores filling up the empty spaces, but the cylone is still there. There's a place called, "Woodcraft" that sells high-end fancy-schmancy tools and whatnot if that's your sort of thing. There's a guy out Hwy 58 near Pleasant Hill that does wood carvings (bears and whatnot) with softwoods; you can't miss it as you drive by, and if you want to get out of town, Cottage Grove has some old logging equipment in their museum. I hear there are conifer forests around this area as well. ;)

There used to be a place west of town that sold Myrtle, they sold both wood and products. But that as ~17 years ago
Also, there is Shorty Campbel in Mapleton (30 miles west), Curley Burley in Cottage Grove, Goby Walnut in Albany(about 40 miles north) and a few others, it depends on what you want, and of course, how much you want to spend. You can call me, or e-mail me also. Reed Gray aka robo hippy
