When my folks moved to Weaverville I knew they were moving to wood country, walnut, hickory and many types of oaks. My problem was I couldn't find much for sale in this area until we found Cormark International. I was felling so-so about going here; their website showed a few wood species and mostly flooring but we went anyway. We walk into the store and Drew welcomed us in. The store entry is small and I saw some wood samples but not a whole lot. I asked Drew if they sold wood slabs and he says "come with me". He opens the door to the back and it was like the first time Willy Wonka opens the door to the chocolate factory. I thought ' Holy Crap, this is the largest wood selection I have ever seen!' And that was just a portion of what they had. The selection, quality and abundance of wood was amazing. I have quite a few species of wood in my shop but they had quite a few I hadn't heard of. I don't know how many times Drew gets to show off the warehouse but I think he enjoyed showing us what was available and I could tell he was proud of the company. It is an amazing operation. They can process logs and have wood ready to sell on the shelves right there at their facility. I have seen wood store across the country but nothing of this scale and to find out that they sell to the stores that I have had to pay a fortune to in past made me think that my next large purchase will be from Cormark. I still have to pay retail prices and shipping but the quality they have should be worth it. read more
