boy i sure can complicate choosing who to get my wood from online!

i was in menards yesterday stocking up on lumber for various shop projects( drill press table, drum sander build, and a few others) and had my nephew with me who's getting interested in woodworking. we took a walk down to their hardwood lumbers, which i hadnt looked at before as ive seen the prices and selection. at hd and lowes.

they had both 1/4 and 1/2" oak, maple, hickory, and what the call mahogany, but i think thats a mahogany grown in the southern US.

i was actually quite impressed with their prices on it. they also had free standing, planed to 3/4" s2s oak, maple,and birch. not the stuff thats all wrapped up purdy and s4s. my nephew wanted to try workin with some oak. lookin at the lil price scale they had there and a lil calculating on nephews phone showed me the oak was 3.80 a bf. the maple was a little higher at 4.05 a bf.

and with rough sawn 4/4 oak about 4-4.50 a bf around here and maple about the same, this is a prety good deal for me.

 

 

online i order from ocooch. i have never had a problem and have always gotten high quality plywood and hardwoods.

Guess I'm lucky. I have a lumber mill just 10 minutes away and they carry all the woods I've even needed (Oak, Maple, Walnut, Butternut t name a few) and will mill it to what I want. And you cant beat the smell of the place when you walk in !!!!!
