Hardwood source in the Bay Area?

Nothing exotic, anywhere in the Bay Area that's reasonably priced.

Leave the area for a few years and the rest of you folks don't do your
job buying from them, eh? <g>

PALS is your best bet if you want to hand select. At their Oakland
location you can walk in and hand pick. Their prices are basicially the
same as cabinet shops pay. They have all the basisc and some exotic.
They also have a section with sustainably forested versions of Maple,
Cherry, etc. It is not any more expensive just not as many wide widths.

Higgins or Hardwoods in Livermore if you want to order and have it
delivered.

There is handloggers in Richmond, Macbeath in SF and Berkeley, (I get a
trade discount), Aura, JH Higgins, and some others.

Ecco timber in Berkeley. I think Pals bought them and changed the name.

Northern Hardwoods in Santa Clara, Aura Hardwoods in San Jose. And not
so reasonably (but some REAL nice wood) Southern Lumber in San Jose.

Thanks for all the good information. Now I need to take a day off and drive
around to check it out.

Northern has been OOB for a couple of years. Some of them started
the Global Wood Source at 101 & Zanker.

Jackel in Watsonville is worth the drive

Southern prices are stratospheric. Avoid if at all possible.
(quality is fine, particularly if you need S4S exotics).
