Are you thinking of Ken Vetterick.  He is a Guild member  who is a partner in Milwaukie Hardwoods. Look them both up in the member directory

Great people to work with.

There was a guild member who was selling local hardwoods specifically westerm walnut.  I think he opened a business for this in NE portland

does anyone have the contact info?

im in need of a few western walnut planks and would rather not use Gobi if there was a better option 

Thanks!
