A Great Buy

Russel,

That is a pretty good deal. It is about the same price that I get my rough cherry ($3.40 a bf for FAS) here in Kentucky. And the guy I get it from, while he only sells lumber, has been in the business for many years and is extremely knowledgeable about wood and woodworking. It is hard to get away from him because he and I both enjoy talking about wood. He lives about 50 miles from my home and I always plan a buy early on a Saturday morning so that I don’t have to rush and we have plenty of time to just talk after loading the truck.

Dealers like mine and Richard help make woodworking even more enjoyable.

Thanks for the post.

thats a nice deal. i love a good lumber dealer. its nice talking to them if they know their stuff. the guy at mine is a woodworker also, more of a weekend warrior that enjoys woodworking. its funny because he’s so impressed with me. its really nice talking to him to. he even gives me deals some times. thanks for the post!

I buy my lumber from a local hardwood dealer. I can pick what I wand or order any width, thickness I want and they’ll do it for me. It’s a pleasure dealing with them.

Nice story. Did you turn him on the Lumberjocks?

Gary, I wore my LumberJocks t-shirt and explicitly pointed it out to him. He said he was familiar with the site. He’s got some nice stuff and he’d be a good addition here.
