Scott grows, mills, and sells paulownia wood and the shavings on the floor prove that business is good.
Paulownia has become the wood of choice for building high end wood surfboards because it's light, strong,
and stable. You can get information or check availability of paulownia by dropping an email to

the way it holds a line. He just started a fish for his wife and the frame is on the
right ready to be planked. The daughters each get one next.

total cost for the
wood was under
$20.00 US.

done. Beautiful work Tony!
