I am looking to buy some 10/4 hardwood and every Google search starts off with Home Despot and goes downhill from there. Does anyone have a recommendation for a source in the region that ships?

Not sure where you live, but I really enjoyed going to Parkerville Wood Products just east of Hartford, CT. Very good prices, and sold more species of wood than I would ever need.

Unisaw, I am west of you and I use this place:

http://www.cwghardwoodoutlet.com/home.html

Located in Enfield, CT. I guess maybe 45 minutes to one hour. They have an awesome selection and their prices includes S4S (their lumber is all rough cut). They will also mill to spec, which was at no additional charge when I had it done. Nice people, and decent prices. Worth the trip.

Good Luck!

Ill vouch for CWG for rough cut 8 footer. Ill also vouch for parkerville in Manchester CT. I frequent both places and would say that CWG is a better bargain but parkerville has some nice stuff too just a little pricier.

Hit up LJ lumberjoe, i think hes in agawam and has a good line on a sawmill thats local.

EDIT - Ohh crap - this post is ooolldddd. LOL

Well, I drove an hour each way to get to Parkerville when I lived in Norwich. The other stores closer to me were so much more expensive that I actually saved money going way out of my way.

Delivery only? I know of a few small-time operations up here in southern VT. Doubt they deliver, but they come highly recommended by professionals that I know. Personally, I've yet to reach the lumber-buying stage so I don't know the names off the top of my head, but if you're interested I could look them up for you.
