While I was in town, I dropped in to visit with Star Supply, the current
domain holder of Shellac.net (I don't know the history, and it's not my
business.) I met Ann, who has run the place for decades, and she was very
sorry to have to disappoint me, and have me wait for three to four weeks
for more of the dewaxed platinum, made famous here by the previous owner of
said shellac domain (and the fellow responsible for my buying that 24"
Stanley monster in my shop ;-)) Nice people, making a living in an out of
the way corner of the world that thrives on wood working.

Is O'Deen still miffed at them?

*sigh*

That would be the equivalent of allowing them to live in my head
rent-free all this time. Call it disappointment. They took a
thriving backyard niche business, grossing $6K per month and turned it
into a five hundred dollar per month venture. Make of it what you
will.

I wholly concur with patriarch's trip, however. I have done several
similar trips (including the visit to Hock Mansion), and it's a tough
one to top for scenery, woodDorking, people, etc. in this state. I
even have some redwood burls running around somewheres.
