Thrane Axe & Saw Co. 21707 Big Woods Road, Dickerson, MD 20842

"I had a great experience buying firewood from this supplier. The owner, Nick Thrane, is honest, easy to communicate with, and willing to work on special requests. I am happy to buy from a small business and to be certain the wood is from Maryland forests."

"I was cheated. Nick gave me a price for some cutting, I wrote a check, he cut 196/400 pieces and said that was it. When I tried to sort it out, he ghosted me. The whole deal was set up by text so I have his communications. I'm glad I found out he was dishonest before I did any serious business there. 28 December. So you story is now that it was time pressure. Good to know. I had no info when you ignored my repeated messages and calls. You have had five months to catch up. Will you be cutting the rest my order or returning my money?"

"I love Nick's handles and really amy product I've recieved has always been top notch, and one handle that I wasn't completely happy with he replaced at no charge. All around great guy, great honest reputation and look forward to doing business again."

"Oh wow, all of Nick's reviews are 5 stars and when you contact him, it's easy to see why. I called Nick when I was looking on google for someone to make an axe as a gift. He has been above and beyond in quality, professionalism, and timeliness in replies. I bought an axe head off of ebay and had it shipped to him. It was looking pretty terrible, but he fixed it up, and built a beautiful handle to go with it and a sheath. He could have charged me more, I'm so happy with the final product and the experience I had with him, all while being a nation away. He kept me up-to-date on all progress with photos via email. All around excellence, A++, 100%."

"In a world where you can pick up cheaply made, mass manufactured tools, the rest of us prefer to go for quality. Let us marvel at the artistry and reliability of pieces that come from local makers. Enter Nick, at Thrane Axe & Sawmill. After reading a few reviews I decided to contact him. Not only was he a genuinely nice guy, but just from a single conversation you can definitely conclude that he puts passion into every piece he creates. This only cemented in my mind that I was making the right decision. I am thankful for my awesome splitting axe and will be ordering more pieces from Nick again in the future!"
