Woodworking Works for Me
By Steve McClintic, Sr Roanoke, Virginia The great thing about a hobby is it is done at leisure. There are no deadlines, expectations or assumptions. For more than 40 years, woodworking has been my hobby. In 2008, I officially retired. I thought to myself: "What should I do?" Woodworking. It was a no brainer.

WOOD SLICER
Testimonial
I wanted to comment on your Wood Slicer bandsaw blades. Anyone wanting to re-saw lumber, contact Highland Woodworking. I ordered my second wood slicer while resawing Oak for my Grandchildrens' Jewelry Boxes. I've never seen anything like them! And, way to go Highland! It arrived at my home as fast as they cut! Great blade and fast service. I'm sure glad I found a great blade and a fantastic Company to Deal with. Thank you HIGHLAND! — Bill Stoelk, Basin, Wyoming Get Yourself a Wood Slicer:CLICK HERE to watch a video tour of the Wood Slicer:
