I have! I'm not sure if he's a member here either. Got a set of figured Mahog, and a bunch of other assorted items. Everything arrived just as it should. One of the best packaging jobs I've received...

His Website is:

I don't think he is a poster here at least not yet. I asked him about bending to the OLF SJ or OM plans and he didn't have that exact capacity. He will bend to Martin om and probably others. Also, he offers thicknessing and joining services. Responds well to e-mails.

Like John Hall, Kevin sells good stuff, is a very nice man, and will help in any way he can. I got my first "kit" from Kevin and everything was first class. He did partial thicknnessing at my request and bent my sides.Kevin doesn't participate on any forums that I'm aware of.Maybe we ought to invite him. This forum has the most unusual "mutual-aid" relationship between vendors-it could serve as an example to many specialty markets.
