    Where do you get hardwood lumbers?

    I am living in big boston area. By far the only lumber yard I know that is close to me is in New Hampshire. They have a retail lumber yard with decent priced hardwood. I want to know where do people in this forum who live in New England area normally buy their hardwood from, especially the lumberyard or sawmill which has cheap price. I guess everybody knows a good source of cheap but good quality hardwood will greatly lower your cost of the projects. I believe there should be some places around here have cheap price, just need to find out where.

    Around here you look in the yellow pages under lumber and then cscan the ads for those advertising "hardwood lumber".

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

      I assume you mean Highland Hardwoods in Brentwood NH (http://www.highlandhardwoods.com/). I drive right past the place every day on my commute. I might suggest you make the trip at least once, it's a great place to buy wood, you're gonna think you're in hardwood mecca. Excellent selection, good prices, excellent service.

      No affiliation, except one of my former students works there.

        Yes, the lumber yard I am talking about is Highland Hardwood. I have been there several times and got around 200 bdf of hardwood, most of them are cherry special. It is a very good place. But I am just trying to find some even better place, might be smaller sawmill, but have cheaper rough hardwood.

          If at first you don't succeed, deny you were trying in the first place.
