Does anyone know of a decent wood source for hardwood in San Diego? I don’t have a planer or jointer (yet) so I would need stuff that is not rough sawn. Im looking for something cheaper than the big-boxes but I also don’t need large quantities as my projects are usually fairly small…

Any help would be appreciated.

http://www.cutanddriedhardwood.com/lumber/lumber.htm in Solana Beach. Not huge, but a pretty wide selection. Owner seemed friendly. I bought some small chunks of exotic stuff out of the cutoff bin, he sells it by the pound.

Check http://www.woodfinder.com for more choices

Two places I use are Rockler in Kearny Mesa, watch for the sales and you get a discount if you are a memeber of the San Diego Fine Woodworkers Assoc. Also, I use TH&H in Miramar, they have mostly rough cut, but you can find 3/4” stock if you look and can also check their cutoff bin.
I just found a new place in Carlsbad yesterday http://www.anexotichardwood.com/, but it is all rough cut.

Recently, like just yesterday, a fellow LJ was trying to determine wood prices from across the US. Someone posted a San Diego wood vendor website that had a hugh selection of rough cut hardwoods. They will joint and plane for a fee. Now I can’t find the post and responses. I have the price list in .pdf format but I’m having a hard time uploading the .pdf file. Maybe someone here can post it.
