I get my domestic hardwood from my woodworking club. We have one or two sawmill days a year and dry it in a solar kiln. The wood from the club is usually below market prices. Exotic wood and Baltic Birch plywood I get at lljohnson's Workbench during their Wood Expo for the discounted price. I still have about 400bdft of quartersawn red oak leftover from my kitchen cabinet project. I guess I overestimated what I needed at least that's what I told my wife.

Not trying to be sarcastic. Coin collectors, collect coins, but spend time sorting listing and looking for others to add to their collection. Lumber tends to be heavier and is a usable product, like screws, glue, hinges. People collect antique hardware, then put it in their place to display it. With the lumber hidden in the shop in a stack, its out of site, isn't it?

I don't live in a glass house, but an apartment with kids that run on the ceiling from 7 in the morning to 11 at night. Please come over and throw stones at their window. Until we get out of here, we sit and think nasty thoughts. RJFv😀

To me  people buy lumber if they can get a good deal and the right project will come along. people buy coins to put in a case and look at. WHY????????????????? The same difference You want to say the coins are investment so is beautiful pieces of wood. I collect watch dials. Have more watch dials than I can ever make enough pens from in 100 life times and yet I continue to go to ebay and buy more. Why, you will probably have the answer.

Heck RJF, I still collect pictures of dead presidents but they are getting harder and harder to find and when I find one, I can't afford it.
