Hardwood in Dallas, Texas

My favorite hardwood vendor in Dallas has been Blue Linx (formerly Austin)
Hardwoods. I drove by there last week and they had closed. I went over to
Hardwood Lumber and they have moved and downsized to just a minimal selection.
Curly Woods in McKinney closed last year.

I don't care if Lehman Brothers survives or not, but when my wood pushers start
closing, this economy has gone too far.

I know about Wood World, Woodcraft, and Rockler. Is there any place left in the
Dallas area where I can a wide variety of hardwood at reasonable prices?

Thanks,
Doug

I'm in the same boat as you, they were also my source. A
little searching turned up Central Hardwoods. They're located
a few blocks from where Blue Linx used to be but I haven't had
a chance to investigate yet. There's also Brazos Forest
Products off of 360 but the selection is sorely lacking. If
you find a decent supplier please post back for the benefit of
others.

Austin is closed too? Or Hardwood closed Jan 5?

Hardwood Lumber has moved? Not good. What about Austin Hardwoods?

Central Hardwoods
2605 Rodney
Dallas, TX 75229
972-241-3571

Just off Denton Dr. about a mile south of 635.

They are a wholesale distributor and will sell 50bd ft of hardwood and
single sheets of plywood. I suggest you call first as they have a "will
call" desk but I do not think they take walk in orders.
