Is CSUSA showroom worth a visit?

[JimB]

Near the end of the summer I will be in the Salt Lake City area. I was wondering if it was worth the time to visit the CSUSA showroom. It will be a little out of the way and I would only be able to spend about an hour there. Has anyone been there? What do you think? What do they have on display? Thanks.

I stopped in a few years ago on the way north -- short detour from the freeway and not too hard to find.

I had a good time, able to see lots of things I had seen only in catalogue pictures.

Not an essential visit, but while in the neighborhood.....

Better would be to visit just before the Utah Sumposium though....

I've been there many times....just live a few miles from them. Bring lots of money because it's easy to see many things you want. One thing they have is a display case with their blanks already on finished pens. Makes it easy to see the end result. Their back room is filled with wood blanks for many projects and they treat you great. If you have any questions, just ask and they will more than answer any questions.

I have not been there but know some that have, it sounds like it would be worth the time, also I believe their sister company TreeLine carving supply is I think right next door.

Treeline is only a few buildings down.Another place to spend some money.

My dealings with both have been exciting from a distance 12000 miles away. Treeline is the same family back to back.

Just being able to Hand Pick some blanks would be worth the trip IMO.

Thanks for the thoughts everyone. Time permitting I will make the detour and visit them.
