ChelCass Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Last week we were on vacation in Asheville North Carolina. There is a hardware store that is NOT the run of the mill hardware store. They have some hardware, commercial type drill presses, band saws, etc. This hardware store is for the woodworker. They have a very large selection of exotic wood. They had a whole tree cut into slabs with matching grain. We were there for three hours diging thru boxes of scrap pieces of wood they sold by the pound ($1.15 regular and $2.99 a pound for exotic). Plus drooling all over the place on the wood they had stacked downstairs. Here's the website......enjoy!! www.ashevillehardware.com Chelcass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsN Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Sounds like a road trip to North Carolina is in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelCass Posted August 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 It would be well worth the trip. Another lumber company to check out is l.l. Johnson lumber and Johnson's workbench (all one title). They are in Charlotte,Michigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one about 50 miles away which is similar but I do not think of the same size where I spend most of my wooden nickels. http://www.midwestwoodworkers.com/ Also another one less than a mile away but the selection is not as good as the first one http://hardwoodheaven.net/ From what others say, I think I am blessed to have two sources relatively close.

ChelCass Posted August 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 It is a wonderful store. We wandered around for at least 3 hours. We are planning on going to N.C. every summer to visit family so we will be going to the hardware store. It will be a top priority!!!!! Now I have to check out the two sites Doug posted!

Is it posible to go to Omaha and not spend a couple hours in Midwest Woodworkers?????? I think NOT!! :drool: Doug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC Scroller Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 If you are coming down, up or over to NC then you must also check out http://hardwoodstore.com/. I get much of my hardwoods and all my plywood from them. What I really like is their wall of shorts. These are pieces from 12" to 4'. Every species and every width at amazing prices.
