Hardwood sources in the Washington DC area

Sep 25, 2007 12 Replies

Greetings all,



I'm a recent resident of the area around DC fondly known as Suburban Virginia. We moved from the suburbs of New Orleans in June.



Can anyone provide names of resources for hardwood within say 50 miles of DC? I live on the west side of town, Ashburn actually, so sources toward West Virginia are okay as well.



Thanks a lot. =========================================================================== Chris


Hey Chris, Are you aware of Woodfinder? I'm up north of Baltimore but I thought this may be helpful to you.

guy has very good prices and selection. Location may not be great for you from VA, but he's a tenth of a mile for me. :)

Dale lumber in Leesburg (Little experience with them other then talking to the owner. Seems nice enough, I may go see him next time I am shopping. McDaniel's Hardwood in Kearneysville Wv. I have bought quite a bit from them. They are very nice, very knowledgeable and very helpful.

've bought from these two guys. Lots of wood. They have jointer, planer etc there so you can go home with surfaced wood. Big stock of all kinds of lumber. plus burls, slabs and plywood.

This is also baltimore, but worth a drive if you ask me...

There's Colonial Hardwoods in the Springfield area.

I used to buy from them before I left the area 10 years ago.

selection and multiple thicknesses of the species of wood that they carry. Some of the other places have limited selections and their prices seem higher, sometimes considerably so.

Make an effort to get to Hicksville Planing Mill, approximately 10 miles west of Hagerstown, MD, off of Highway 70:

Hicksville Planing Mill

14464 Hicksville Road Clear Spring, MD 21722 301-842-3474

The mill is run by a Mennonite group and the prices for a large variety of hard and soft woods would more than offset the cost of the drive out there.

Thanks again to all who responded!
