Shazmira Posted May 4, 2013 Share #31 Posted May 4, 2013 Please make sure you let us all know when blocks and rope will be available. Summer is fast approaching (so the calendar says, if not the thermometer) I am anxiously in line waiting to purchase both! Quote Robbyn If you risk nothing, you risk everything!

Nirvana Posted June 1, 2013 Share #40 Posted June 1, 2013 Chuck, not only that the blocks and dead eyes look great, the prices are unbeatable. Especially handcrafted coming from you. Next time I need blocks or eyes I will surely turn to you. Chuck 1 Quote Please, visit our Facebook page!

kurtvd19 Posted May 31, 2016 Share #45 Posted May 31, 2016 Lloyd Warner, former NRG Chairman, who owns Warner Woods West has retired from block making. Lloyd recently dropped his ad in the Nautical Research Journal and told me he's only making blocks for himself from now on. Lloyd had stopped selling wood and linen thread some time ago.
