Still good to hear from woodworkers the old-fashioned way — a recent letter mailed to us...
I normally don't write letters, but I received a Wood Slicer bandsaw blade from you yesterday and put it on my 14 in saw. Boy was I impressed! 1/64" slices out of 8/4" Red Oak like butter. A super light sanding and ready for finish!
What a great blade!

We recently received this email from a woodworker and we're so proud of our Wood Slicer that we wanted to share the email with you.
Hi
Just thought I would take a minute to drop you folks a note regarding my experience w/ your Wood Slicer band-saw blade—It certainly has lived up to the pre-purchase accolades your sales rep mentioned while I was on the phone—I've used it to slice veneer about 2/32" thick—and to cut the top free from the bottom of the box I am making—Thanks for a terrific product.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for this outstanding example of world class customer service! I have been a customer in the past and have always been pleased with your fine products, prompt service and excellent prices.
Rest assured that in the future, I will look to Highland Woodworking first, for all of my woodworking needs!
Sincerely,
Stewart S.

Needless to say, sanding out the scratches that are made visible, along with sanding out the stain, is no fun indeed. A good way to avoid such frustrating circumstances is to be methodical in the way all is sanded. Here is what I do to avoid this setback.
