where to buy hardwood in Albuquerque

[fireant]

Looking for typical random widths & lengths of red oak, mahogany, birch for furniture projects, in 4/4 to 8/4 rough thicknesses. Also furniture grade plywood. TIA, F

Try Albuquerque Hardwoods, better prices than Ore- Pac.

Albuquerque Hardwoods for the domestic stuff. Go to Ore-Pac for the Mahogany (bring a crowbar)

What about Woodcraft? I noticed that they have a store in Albuquerque.

I'll be driving down to Albuquerque in a couple weeks to see "Stomp" at PopeJoy theater. I figured that while down there, I'll give myself a few hours to browse the wood supply stores. I was going to visit Woodcraft. Their website makes it look pretty good ... but never having been there, I really can't say.

It's a pretty good place to browse etc... but their prices are pretty steep. Woodwise, their prices are usually way steep and their stock is pretty minimal. If you want to "browse" woods, swing by OrePac. They have a decent showroom with most of the varieties they carry. The other places really don't have a showroom but if you like wandering warehouses, ABQ Hardwoods is ok (I personally prefer to buy from them but I usually know what I'm after too). Now if I could just find someone in this town that carries Ipe! Cheers, cc

I found OrePac on the Internet and got their Albuquerque address. But I can't find "Albuquerque Hardwood". Is that the name of the store? Would you happen to have their address?

I went through that. I only needed a few (20) bf for a bench. A place in Phoenix (google "hardwood" + "phoenix") had a UPS bundle for a better price than I could do anywhere else. It seems the best prices/deals are back east but shipping would be a killer.

Oops! add "ipe" to that search and you'll find woodworkerssource.net. At the time they had it on sale and it came to about $6/bf. delivered. Seems now to be about $11 (ouch!)
