Hey there fellow Lumber Jocks. So I moved to Nashville, TN from CA this past year and was wondering if anyone had any good lumber suppliers for exotic/non Lowes & Home Depot wood. I would like to find some places to buy larger pieces to do some fine furniture building. I have also thought about looking around for any generous wood shops that would be willing to let me dive through cut off bins too. I love to use cut off material for small projects to keep me busy between larger projects. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks ahead of time,
Sfrenchfry
