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?
I see that you live very close to me. I don't know about the shipping, but some of the local places that I frequent are: The Woodery - Lunenburg , MA Bingham Lumber - Brookline, (tax-free) NH New England Hardwood Supply - Littleton, MA
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.
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.
i know that this doesn't help the OPer out much but im looking for a good supplier in southwest connecticut particularly in the danbury/waterbury area.
Very nice web site that made it easy to order a QS 6/4 FAS board. Couldn't find a 10/4 anywhere. I'm taking Scott Meeks hand plane making course online and my choices were limited.
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.
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.
jmartel - If you are looking for domestic hardwood at any time, GK Woodworking in Griswold is great supplier.
I buy all my rough cut domestics from him. Super nice guy, great prices !
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.
Oops not old. I looked at member days instead of the posted date. I recant my statement.
Ben - give them a call up at CWG im sure they dont have everything thats stocked on their site. Last time i was there they had a load of curly ambrosia maple coming in. Drool worthy stuff.
