Wood suppliers in Dallas/Ft Worth area??

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good wood supplier in the Dallas/
Ft Worth area. Hopefully on the east edge.

This is what I consider a good place:

1. Looking for a place where I can browse through the lumber.
2. Wide selection of hardwoods. Mahogany, Maple, Beech etc.
3. Veneer plywoods.
4. Decent prices.

I just moved here from So. Cal. where they had places like Reel Lumber
in Anaheim, and Land Stanton Vance in City of Industry. I got spoiled.

I would appreciate your replys.

Thanks
Gary

There is Hardwood Lumber Company on Goodnight lane near Loop 12 and
Northwest Highway, and Austin Hardwoods on Mathis near Luna and
Royal.

Curly Woods in McKinney. They have what I consider an excellent
selection.

Another thing about Wood World is they have wood like walnut, cherry,
and Maple planed down to 1/4....

Follow up:

Thanks for all the replys so far.

I am actually in Tyler, but there is not a real good place that I have
found around here.

I figured that around a big city the pickings would be better.

Thanks again,
Gary

Gary,

For rough hardwoods, I'd recommend Robinson Hardwoods off of Lancaster.
What area of town are you in? They're only open during weekdays, something
like 8-5.

Since I live on the far west side, I really don't know about places in
Dallas. However, over here there is Hogan Hardwood (in Grand Prairie) and
Barney Robinson lumber (on East Lancaster). The Fort Worth Plywood place is
also nice.
Hogan bought the old Frank Paxton place a few years ago.

Gary:

As others have said:

Curly Woods in McKinney is great

Austin Hardwoods off 35E at Royal(?) is fabulous, but bring a
flashlight and be prepared to hump lumber to find a good piece

Wood World at TI Blvd is good, easy to get to the wood, but the wood
ain't real great if you like to go from the rough.

I personally use Curly Woods, the guys will cut a deal if there's a
bunch of sap wood around the heart wood on a hunk of walnut, cherry,
etc.

The dresser at
http://web2.airmail.net/xleanone/index.html/Dresser/
Was done from their wood as were the other items at the site.

Regards.

Tom

Hi Gary:
DFW is a pretty wide range of area, but if McKinney is within your scope,
Curly Woods.com.They have a great selection of exotics as well.

I moved away from Dallas last year but bought lumber from
Wood World
13650 Ti Blvd Ste 101,
Dallas, TX 75243
(972) 669-9130

What I liked about the place was that I could browse through
the lumber and select what I liked.
They carry plywoods also.
