For those of you looking for repairs or for a new wheel there is a guy by the name of Doug Graves who has done a few wheels for me and makes an even better product in my opinion and others than Eric Freeman who is now retired from wheel making. Mr. Freeman made an outstanding wheel but Doug's wheel side by side with Freeman's is just a cut above. Doug is an outstanding craftsman and really loves making these wheels. He will even make them in other exotic woods, some of which I've never even heard of. He's a great guy to deal with and I highly recommend him.

Glad to know that he does repairs, I have one that us starting to separate. He's "The Teakmaster", correct ?

He most definitely is.

So...Has Eric really retired?

That is what I have been told by Dick from Virginia Vettes who knows him well. He's in another line of work for now. I had been trying to get a 15" wheel from Eric through Virginia Vettes for some time before I found Doug.
It really worked out for the best in my opinion.

I believe my wife snagged the last one in his inventory for my Christmas present.

I heard that he was still going to make them on a limited basis by special order.
