Greetings from Ontario, Canada
I'm travelling to Daytona Beach, Florida in a couple of weeks and staying
for about 2 1/2 weeks. I am in search of Woodturners to meet with and talk
to in the area. I would also like to know if there are any mills or retail
outlets for what we would call "exotic woods". You probably call them "local
woods". Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated. My email address is
[email protected]
Thanks in advance,
Christopher Lang

Chipmunk Hardwoods in Edgewater; about 15 miles south of Daytona. I
can't remember his website URL, but if you go to
http://www.woodfinder.com and type in 32174 for a zip code, it'll be
one of the sites returned and has a link to their site.
I don't know if they have local exotics (I think that may be an
oxymoron), and I haven't been there yet, but they should be worth a
look.
I can't answer on the woodturners part. I haven't met any yet.

Thanks for the heads-up. I live 2 hours north of Toronto (in Bracebridge)
and if driving, will probably come through Buffalo/Erie. I believe it will
cut about 300 miles off the trip. My friend and I haven't finalized travel
method yet.
Regards,

Actually on the other side of Paine's Prairie from Gainesville, in
Micanopy (between Gainesville and Ocala).
However the reason I asked where in Ontario he was from is because
most people from about London and east, come down I-79/I-77/I-26/I-95
even to get to Ft. Meyers/Naples. Look at a map if you don't believe
it.
Micanopy is nearly a 200 mile round trip from Daytona or anywhere
along that route .
Now, from Windsor, it's right on the way (I-75).

Yeah, you have a couple of pesky lakes to get around. Makes air travel
start to look attractive. DAB (Daytona) isn't an easy airport to find
travel in and out of, although connections through ATL (Atlanta) are
plentiful. Of course there's always MCO (Orlando), but that's still an
hour+ drive from DAB and on the wrong side of Orlando. Sanford (don't
know the identifier; used to be NRJ when it was a naval air station)
is getting quite popular, and it's on the right side of Orlando and
only a half hour or so away, but may not have much more access to YZ
than DAB does..
Anyway, if you drive, wave at my inlaws as you go by Beamsville on the
Queen E. SWMBO grew up on a small fruit farm that was where the
interchange for Ontario Street is now.
