Cornell Michaels and Michael Neal are NOT the same company. I purchased a kit from Cornell Michaels a couple years ago and had great service. He is an airline pilot (I think retired) and hand cuts his kits. I purchased a short kit and he included a bunch of extra wood with it.

I believe Michael Neal may have purchased the business from Cornell Michaels, but I'm not sure. I don't know of anyone who has been happy with Michael Neal.
