Gallery of featured sets

Below you will find some featured sets to select from. If you do not see what you need please inquire. We have hundreds of cut sets on hand. We will also gladly quote wood sets cut to your specs. Check the "specials" page for items not on our regular price list, and for discounted 2nds and bargain sets.

Unless otherwise noted, each gallery set is made of wood matched from the same tree--to help ensure color, figure, and density match.
