InConnecticut we have a lot of choices when shopping for wood:
The HomeDepot in Orange, the Home Depot in North Haven, the Home Depot in Wallingford, theHome Depot in Bridgeport, the Home Depot in Fairfield…. They basically droveout every single lumberyard and mom & pop operation in the state.
Then there’sa very different kind of store we can also visit: the Lowe’s in East Haven, theLowe’s in West Haven… you get the idea.
And they bothcarry a wide range of quality woods:
Pine,crappy pine, REALLY crappy pine, junk pine unfit for making skids, lousy expensivemaple, and red oak. Lots of red oak. So I’m thinking red oak, myself. I’llstain it, you know?
Someone onthis list last year sent me a link to a pretty cool web site that sells “mail-orderwood.” I kept it but I don’t have it on hand. Still… the idea of mail-orderingwood is a bit foreign to me. Nice site, though.

I wood (scusethe pun) stay away from the Home Depot's etc and go to someone who specializesin hardwood. We have 'Hardwoods for Hobbiest' and 'Wood Source' here in GR.
