Topic tags/keywords: maple cherry oak any

I cannot seem to find a way to get my hands on some dried lumber here in middle Tennessee. Does anyone have any sources that I might tap for information as to how to get my hands on dried lumber (either kiln or air dried)?

-- How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood? I don't know that answer....but I'll give it a try!!!

Have you checked for a supplier through a local lumber yard?

Your local lumber yard might not keep what you want in stock, but one of their suppliers (that sends a truck by regularly for deliveries anyway) might sell what you want. For example, my local yard only carries ash and oak beyond construction grade materials. But the supplier of that ash and oak sells much more that just ash and oak (walnut, mahogany, poplar, etc). All I have to do is call the supplier in the “big city” and they will throw whatever I want on the truck that comes to my town anyway. No delivery charge, no “add on” cost from the local yard. I meet the truck in the Wal-mart parking lot on its regular delivery day to off load before the truck goes to the local lumber yard. Granted, I can’t pick what I want and it’s a credit card transaction over the phone but it’s cheaper than driving 150 miles.

Here is a supplier in Cedar Grove, TN. I am not sure how far that is from you but hopefully it helps. The contact is Mike @ 731-614-2518. Another source is EBAY. There is a wide selection of hardwood lumber available for auction and buy it now. You could check to see if anyone nearby is auctioning lumber by sorting on distance.

Hope this helps.

Check Craigslist, I know that there is a guy in Woodbury that sells poplar. I think there is a place in Smyrna/LaVergne.
