Ok, I did manage to find two good sellers on ebathat auction site… mollyb is good . Now I realized I really should have asked here a long time ago. I bought from about 7 sellers, and 50% is wet. Not dried so well and I end up losing a lot of wood planing ,straitening,clamping, sanding etc…, I’ve learned to look for kiln dried or to get feedback from other buyers. I know Tom here has a saw mill in oregon I think , I liked his site when I looked. I would like to hear what you all have to say about this. I usually buy wide boards aprox 60”x9”x1”w (aprox) . I have a couple how scavenges for OldGrowth red wood burl roots in northern California and got three GREAT pieces from them… But really want another seller for cabinetry and furniture projects. I am in Brooklyn so lately I have been relying on the mail , rather than driving around lumber hunting.. Well Thank you for any tips or advice on this subject . Happy woodworkin’ Your friend in wood , Patrick. p.s. I do believe I need a book about moister meters and learning a bit more about how wood is stored and dried… any good books that you’d recommend?

Patrick, cruise by Dykes. The location in Hackensack has some great hardwood.

-- Made lots of sawdust and pounded some nails. Haven't finished anything, though.

A couple of books that might be useful for you Patrick are “Wood And How To Dry It” from Fine Woodworking and another book that is a useful reference is “Woodworker’s Guide To Wood” by Rick Peters.

In addition to Barlow and Woodfinder you might also try Daren Nelson or dirtclod. They’re both LJ members who own sawmills.

I sell figured woods and if there was something you were looking for in particular I’m sure I could help you find it.
