Subject: RE: [motm] Speaking of Wood Cabs...In Connecticut we have a lot of choices when shopping for wood:
The Home Depot in Orange, the Home Depot in North Haven, the Home Depot in Wallingford, the Home Depot in Bridgeport, the Home Depot in Fairfield . They basically drove out every single lumberyard and mom & pop operation in the state.
Then theres a very different kind of store we can also visit: the Lowes in East Haven, the Lowes in West Haven you get the idea.
And they both carry a wide range of quality woods:
Pine, crappy pine, REALLY crappy pine, junk pine unfit for making skids, lousy expensive maple, and red oak. Lots of red oak. So Im thinking red oak, myself. Ill stain it, you know?
Someone on this list last year sent me a link to a pretty cool web site that sells mail-order wood. I kept it but I dont have it on hand. Still the idea of mail-ordering wood is a bit foreign to me. Nice site, though.

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

I've
mail ordered wood and it turned out to be really nice and there are enough
internet sites for this that you can find the best deals on the wood you're
looking for. Different areas in the country have different types of wood/
less cost. The big thing is shipping, so if you order enough wood they
usually give you free shipping. Still the best place I've gotten wood is
in good old Wisconsin. Badger Hardwoods of Wisconsin Ltd. There hard
maple and walnut is beeeuuutifuuull. (Now to find the time to build those
hard maple cases without jeopardizing my house, job, wife, kids, music making,
err sound creation.)
