I'd think there'd be plenty of white oak in Maryland. It is easy to find in Virginia. Where about in Maryland doesn't have white oak?

I'm in the Rockville area. I haven't looked exhaustively, just checked a recommended local lumberyard. Any suggestions (even in NVA) would be appreciated.

Hicksville Planing Mill in Clear Spring. That's a bit West of Frederick, but well worth the drive. They have damn near anything you could possibly want, at reasonable prices. Google on "Hicksville Planing Mill, Clear Spring, MD" and it should give you their phone number and map links. They're open on Saturday mornings.

At a higher price, but with excellent service and decent selection, try Mizell Lumber & Hardware in Kensington, right next to the train station.

Michael,

Ther used to be a wood shop, Woodworkers Warehouse (was a cabinet shop which converted to selling wood, cabinet making supplies and tools) on I beleive W. Montgomery Ave (behind the Rockville Metro Station) which carried a very good selection of wood. If they are no longer there, I find it hard to believe that there are no suppliers of white oak in the DC metropolitan area. Look in the yellow pages under Hardwood, woodworking or cabinetmaking. I doubt you would have any luck at the standard lumber yards.

Good luck Bill

Exotic Lumber in Gaithersburg would be one. If you needs lots, you may consider a place like the mill someone suggested.

Really - try that woodfinder website - type in your zip, narrow down what you're looking for (plywood, hardwood, etc.) and it gives you business located within x miles of your zip code.
