New wood source Local Wood In Berryville, VA

So today on my way back from Winchester I stopped in at a new wood store in Berryville, VA which opened last week. They have a great selection of locally cut and dried lumber (Cherry, Oak, Ash, Walnut, Cedar, and Popular among others) and their prices are very competitive and in most cases less than other shops in the area. The owner is knowledgeable and a very friendly guy that is looking to cater to local woodworkers. Check them out at http://www.localwoodva.com. While there I was able to pick up some 8/4 cherry to make legs for a file cabinet to match the desk I made last week. Over the next couple weeks I will be blogging about some other local resources to help NOVA woodworkers out.

On their webpage the address is miss-spelled (Kimball and not Kimble), so it does not show up in google maps. Here is a link to the google maps location.

Brad, Thanks for the heads up. I will have to check these guys out. Look forward to any other local resources. My main one is the folks at Leesburg Woodcraft.

To find some occosional good buys on stuff to rehab or recycle there is the Habitat for Humanity Re-Store in Purcellville.

I am in the finishing stages of a cherry coffee table using stock that Scott Carpenter of Local Wood picked out for me. The place is a wonderful find and has a marvelous selection of lumber. Scott is a wonderful source of knowledge and wisdom if you need a third person's suggestions.

I highly recommend these folks. And by the way they are having a Grand Opening bash on 11 September. Be there!

I found Local Wood in August of 2011 and have been getting my lumber there since. Scott Carpenter is a real nice guy and will go out of his way to assist you. If you live in the area check them out, they have a great selection of domestic woods local to VA.

Herbine Hardwoods - Lucketts, VA

To continue my local resources listings..

Herbine Hardwoods is located in Lucketts just outside of Leesburg, the owner Rick Herbine owns a small farm and has a kiln and sawmill on premise. The hardwood business is a side business and by appointment only so you have to call him ahead of time and leave a message. He is good about returning calls and setting up a time meet.

They have a large selection of various local species plus some odd stuff throw in here and there. They almost always has cherry, oak (Red and While), popular, walnut and ash. They also have a shorts area where there is a collection of 4-5 footer that are sold at a discount.

When I was last there he had several large box elm slabs that were really cool with their red streaks. There was also the large piece of 5/4 live edge spalted maple that had to come home with me. Rick knows his wood and is a good guy to talk wood with.

Vienna Hardwoods - Vienna, VA

Vienna hardwoods is a great local resource for finding wood. They have a ton of wood jammed into a small space and carry all the normal domestics along with some exotics here and there. They also have a ton of shorts and scraps hidden in corners. For example last time I was there they had several large mahogany crotch veneer core panels (52×36 x 1.25) that I grabbed to use as a table top. Check out there website http://www.viennahardwood.com/ and stop in and check out their stock. The owner is a nice guy that is always open to having someone look around.
