Foster has a large selection of mouldings and stretcher bars. If they dont have what you want you can have custom profiles milled. The Staff are all friendly and the owner Bob is a great guy and willing to help in any way he can.
I have used Foster Planing Mills custom made stretcher bars for more than 10 years now and they are always perfect!! The service is so fast its hard to believe they can get it to me as quick as they do. They must hang up the phone, make the order and get it out the same day!
All I can say is if they dont have it, theyll make it for you. And if they cant, you dont need it. Note: this only applies to bar stock and molding, so dont go asking them to make you a delicious sandwich, ok? But for real, awesome company, amazingly consistent stock, and the fact that everyone who works there has been there forever (or is the son/daughter of someone who has!) means that the product is first rate. And if you live in la or close by and need longer stock they are a godsend....shipping 144 stock costs more than the product itself, but you can Pick it up here with no ship costs.
Did business with Foster Planing Mill for over 20 years, best in the business!
Great selection, great prices, friendly and knowledgeable employees.
Sometimes ok, sometimes horrible service! The owner does NOT keep his word. I recall years ago, he asked Nicolas Tobey for post-dated checks with the agreement that they would be posted as promised, to no avail, he went straight to the bank, emptying Richard Tobey bank account. Bob Foster inherent his business and property from his folks. Spent one month in New Zealand, and then complain his bills are not being paid on time! He let customers processing orders, but then comes back two weeks later stating he will not deliver until a past due bill (which was agreed to be paid on a specific date) is paid prior. His staff is leaving him, and his main staff has been on a 4 days work week for the last 8 years. Completely pathetic! (a 20% cut of salary)
Great place to film and have catering
