I was just told that classic wood is under new ownership. Steve is reported to be fighting cancer. Anyone know if this is true?

I do know for a fact that Steve is fighting cancer.

Bill Underwood · 09-17-2013, 11:06 PM

All is true per my conversation directly with Steve

What a shame. A story we are hearing all too frequently. I pray he gets better.

I hope some young, talented woodworker picked up his business so that he can provide this service to the hobby for many years to come.

I hope Steve beats the monster and that the new owners keep the same dedication to quality.

The new owners name is Howard Comstock. My brother in law worked with him for over 10 years and has nothing but good things to say about him. I would say that Classic Wood is in good hands.

I spoke with Classic today and Steve passed away several weeks ago.
Loss to all personaly that knew him and the hobby as a whole.

Rest my brother, the Big C is tough.

Yes it is true. Steve was a fighter 'til the end.

It might be worth noting that the new company (Classic Wood LLC) send us a flyer saying they have a 20% price increase effective 1/01/14, ...so if someone is thinking about placing an order, you might consider doing so prior to the new year.
