Just what I needed 10/18/2020
By Orvile Baker
I like buying from Bear, I always get what I need and most of the time it's right on time. I work with a few disabled people near me and have to buy everything out of pocket so I love the prices here. I myself had a stroke a few years back and lost part of my sight, thanks to Bear's price I make toys and help other that I can. THANK YOU Bear wood supply.
