Searching for (new) wood supplier

Renata: I can say that Steve Wall is a good guy to deal with, when I lived in NC I used to go up to Mayodan and buy wood. My buddy ordered stock shipped, and they always gave him nice picks, and he never complained, so I'd give Wall a vote of confidence. His prices are competitive as well. Good luck.

you ARE kidding, right?

Disclaimer. god, I hate these! The above was a J O K E. as in "don't take me seriously".

Nope. The post you responded to, where you said

contained exactly two names: Bay Area Dave and Mike.

Maybe you'd better read it again? The post did contain the word "ass," but it wasn't used as a name. Webster or equivalent should clear that up for you, if that was the source of your confusion.

Jim

ah, you are fulfilling your calling as the perfect role model, I see! I'm sure your momma is proud of you now! She taught you all the big words, did she, like "pompous". Don't forget now, Jeffrey, that you have to use a word THREE times to "own it".

Cabinet shops are also an option, but what I meant was the wholesalers who sell plywood, hardwood, plastic laminate and lumber to the cabinet shops. Most of them also sell to the general public. If you have a large order, they also make deliveries (although delivery policies probably vary from store to store. There may be a minimum order or a delivery charge.)

remove the key to email me.

Yeah, but I think you're kinda far from MD. ;-)

To clarify...

The truck is a potential future purchase, being driven more by my intention to get into housing rehab. Combined w/my ww needs I hope that "justifies" the purchase.

(I sure do miss my truck.)

Right now, when I need smaller quantites of wood, I tend to not want to rent a truck to pick up a few board feet. That's why I like mail order. Besides, I don't have to go runnign around the countryside looking for a decent price on wood (which don't really exist in the DC area).

Obviously, if I had intentions of picking up a nice size load, I'd get a truck and find a well stocked and priced place. Right now, I changed my design and decided I needed to add some "stiles" and "rails" to my enertainment center sides and needed some 6/4 cherry. This doesn't warrant getting a truck, though my neighbor has been kind enough to offer use of her (rented) Dakota. One of these days we're gonna take a trip to Gaithersburg and get my wood.

Renata smart, not dumb for email
