ChelCass Posted November 22, 2021 Report Posted November 22, 2021 Hubby and I went to Charlotte Dollar tree and happened to drive right past LL Johnson. Welllllll of course we had to stop. Below is everything I bought along with the prices to give you an idea of the *speciality* wood prices here. Mark SW, OCtoolguy, WayneMahler and 1 other 2 2 Quote
kmmcrafts Posted November 22, 2021 Report Posted November 22, 2021 If you have a way to mill your own.. it's a lot cheaper than buying the "store boards" I used to buy the store boards.. then I started buying the bundle packs ( bundles of 30 board foot or less ). Now I go out back and get the good deals of buying 100+ board foot at a time which gets you into a much lower price bracket.. OCtoolguy 1 Quote

Am getting a planer in May for hubby's birthday so I can use some of the wood from the Amish and plane myself. don't use a lot of wood as I don't scroll that much with my eyesight being as bad as it is. Can't see the darn lines kmmcrafts 1 Quote
Hawk Posted November 22, 2021 Report Posted November 22, 2021 Love that place, got my P-20 from them. But since moving here to Beaverton it's a bit to far for me to go just for wood. I do pretty good at the Tool Haus in Gladwin. Chris kmmcrafts and ChelCass 2 Quote
BadBob Posted November 23, 2021 Report Posted November 23, 2021 I did the math for the basswood picked at random. It works out to $3.46 for a board foot. A bargain. ChelCass 1 Quote
Woodmaster1 Posted November 24, 2021 Report Posted November 24, 2021 I like ll Johnson's lumber. If your buying quantity no other place beats their price. I once ordered 850bdft of quartersawn red oak and 300bdft. of poplar and had it delivered and still saved money compared to a more local supplier. ChelCass and kmmcrafts 2 Quote
