I used to live in Glendale, and there was a place in Burbank that sold
hardwood wholesale. Don't remember the name, but if you called ahead
with your order, and gave them some time, they would sell retail for a
very good price. Can't guarantee this is the place, but found this
site on the web.

Now I live in Chicago and have shoveled snow about 5 times in the past
week. Parts of me miss LA.

Major source for wood -- Anderson Plywood in Culver City, just off the
405 Fwy.
Four times each year they host the Old Galoot Used Tool Swap Meets.
They'll give you the shedule. Premier used tools at about 40% the cost
of eBay.
Want a Stanley No. 2 plane? A guy shows up every time with about 5 of
these. Great stuff.

Swanner (listed earlier in this thread) will sell small amounts, mostly
domestic though.
Arroyo has domestic and exotics, prices seem a bit high (higher than
Swanner).
House of Hardwoods is pretty good, if you happen to be over in that
area. They also have a wide belt sander, if you need a table top
smoothed up.
I know what you mean about LA, been here all my life and STILL can't
find things.
Yahoo yellow pages seems to help a lot, will find businesses sorted by
distance from your address.

Hello Michael;
Two of my regular sources that the other guys didn't mention:
Far West Plywood in Northridge-They have a good stock of hardwoods at
reasonable prices. You can walk in and pick your own boards.
Phillips Plywood in Sun Valley- A good stock of common hardwoods at
quite low prices; a few exotics
Both Far West and Phillips are good for woods like maple, mahogany,
ash, alder, oak, etc.
I buy some of my exotic hardwoods at Arroyo Hardwoods in Pasadena.
They're expensive, but they have a wide selection.

I too go there but only if I need a small amount, there are twice (+) the
price of Bohnoff or Lane Vance Stanton. I view it as a penalty for not
buying right the first time.

Thanks again. I managed to get by Arroyo on Saturday to get the one
last piece of figured maple I needed. They did seem a little high on
some things, but not crazy. A lot of furniture sized boards and not
too much in the way of unique figured woods, but they were close and
open.
I am now compliling a list, and thanks again for the help.

Great place cant imagine a plywood selection they don't have. I hope they
keep expanding hardwood offerings/quality. Notice they replaced their
Altendorf slider with a 12" general recently
