I guess that pretty well sums up why WC closed up shop and has no stores in
this area anymore. Just don't understand why they even get honorable
mention in woodworking groups.


I've only been to a Woodcraft store twice, and bought only smaller
items. This particular store, while listed as a Woodcraft location,
can't use the Woodcraft name in their signage because the place is too
small, or at least that's what they tell me.

It's a "woodworkers club" - with a shared, rentable shop that's located
above the retail store. The store staff seem to be involved with the
club and the classes they give there.

I can't speak to their return policy, or the accuracy of their squares,
but the guys that work there seem to be enthusiasts who don't mind if
you pick their brains at length, whatever your skill level. One of them
opened a can of stain and tried it out on a scrap for me. So I'd rate
the service pretty good, at least at that one location.
