Howdy!
I've been satisfied with Hearne Hardwood in Oxford as well as Groff & Groff
over in Quarryville. 4/4 common cherry for $2.25; 4/4 FAS around $4 or so.
Lots of other stuff...
yours,
Michael

Just my opinion, but Willards is quite pricey for what you get. Small
quantities on an as needed basis, well ok, but in any size, i.e., >50
bd ft, the prices seem a bit much for my taste. Take a ride out to
Picture Rocks, near Williamsport PA area to Lewis Lumber:
http://www.lewislp.com/ where I bought some serious size, got hard
maple for about $3.65; cherry for $4.85 and really nice poplar for
$1.50 a board foot. The web site has pricing, and the staff was very
accomodating.

Gee, sorry no offense meant. I was addressing the "reasonably priced"
part of the query, as I searched in S. Jersey (but not Amish land) for
the same thing, and came up empty, well, I did find 4/4 cherry for
around $7 a foot, maple for $5 a foot, etc. My experience was you
have to travel a few hours to get what I consider reasonable pricing,
and to do that I was willing to buy size, in my case 1000 bd ft, which
I split with some buddies. The savings was considerable.

Mutt,
The 'OP' asked about 'So. Jersey & So. E. PA' . . .
The tip about Lewis is nice, But Williamsport is sort of to the left on
'NoWhere, PA' and about the middle of the state. {I used to 'travel for
business' so I DO know where it is, Lycoming, etc.}.
There are other 'small' mills a lot closer, if he wants to get a 'truckload'
. . . look in just about any Lancaster County telephone book . . . a lot of
Amish deal with the 'English'. Plus any number of 'better known' mills such
as Herne Hardwoods, etc.

For more of a 'basic sawmill' try Heacock Lumber, Plumbsteadville, PA {Just
above Doylestown} - no website
