Ok,
For those that don't know me/haven't met me, I'm Jason  I've been around the OLF for a long time.. Bruce Dickey found me on eBay (I was selling acoustic sets to help pay my tuition) back when the OLF was just starting and brought me over.. I haven't been able to get away since. I've learned a lot since I've been here and even as a tonewood producer I'm able to say I've been able to refine my products as a result of some of the input I've recieved from the membership.
CVT is a family owned & operated company. My father started the company in.. 97 I believe. So we've been around for a while. We origionally started selling maple to a single client in Vancouver, Larrivee Guitars. Since then we've probably, at one point or another, had our products appear on an instrument by every major manufacturer using Maple and/or WRC in N. America. We are primarily a wholesale operation selling direct with clients throughout Canada & the US as well as China, Japan, Korea, Germany, the UK and Australia.. If you include retail sales there are quite a few countries to add to that list.
We got into the business producing figured maple and over the years expanded into Sitka, Engelmann, and Western Red Cedar. Currently we are producing Big Leaf figured Maple and WRC. We aren't currently producing (or planning on in the near future) any Spruce products, though that could change at any time..
Personally I love this business. I've tried to get away.. I went to University locally, worked construction in the Okanagan, and flew off to Alberta to try my luck in the oil patch.. At the end of it all I keep finding myself back on a saw. I'm working towards a few goals of my own now but plan on continuing with the family biz on some level indefinately. I'm actually really excited about taking the next step with our retail product offering and in the new year there will be a lot of additions to our offerings and a few changes with the way we operate in order to make things more efficient and hassle free on both ends.
As a way of re-introducing ourselves to the community I've arranged to make a special offer to all of you with a pretty nice discount on some REALLY nice wood.. Once these sets are gone the prices will be going back up so if your planning to use a maple B&S or WRC top in the future it might be a good time to save some money.
Over the next few months I'm hoping to get a fully functioning retail page up & running with automatic online payment but for the time being you'll just want to email me. Contacting me directly is the fastest.
I'll be posting the OLF sale in another thread later this evening.
Anyways, thanks for the great welcome back.. We're happy to be here again.
