buying lumber advice

[MikeMcCoy]

Do any of you use online sources to buy lumber? The extent of my sophistication is Lowes and HD - so I'm probably paying way too much.

Any advice on where to find good wood for good prices? (Advice in general, but if anyone knows PA/MD, some local source info would be great!)

Thanks! Really glad I found this forum!!!

I had a little over 400 BF of some really prime 8/4 Pennsylvania cherry dropped off in my garage last month for $4.00 a BF by Mike Morgan. I don't know if he hangs around here or not but he's in the vendor section at Sawmill Creek and also at Woodnet. I've bought from him several times so if you are interested let me know and I'll get you the contact info.

Hopefully the above isn't against forum rules but I'll gladly edit if someone will let me know.

go to woodfinder.com and enter my zip 25401 and look for Irving's Saw mill. If you're willing to drive, he has great prices. It's about an hour north of me, might be two for you.

you'll find some other places on there too. There is a place in NJ that has good prices on exotics on their marketplace page.

Well shoot Jeff I may have to do just that! Right now I need some 1X poplar for a bed I'm making... whatcha got?

P.S. Do you know of a good plywood dealer in the area? I'm not going to spend $65 at HD for birch PW!

Click on my avitar and send me an email about lumber.

As far as sheet goods, Industrial Plywood sells to the public and has GREAT prices and inventory. They have locations in Reading and Lewiston. I have only been to Reading. Nice folks. More saw blades than I have ever seen assembled under one roof.
