Three or four years ago I got some really great walnut from Herbine
Hardwoods a little ways north of Leesburg, VA. They planed it for a very
small extra charge. Then last summer I wanted some more so I called them
and e-mailed them but never got a reply. Yet they continue to advertise in
Fine Woodworking and list Cherry as one of their woods. It is worth a phone
call: 703-771-3067.

I have got some from Hoff Brothers sawmill in Eldersburg for about $1.25/BF
for log cut, green cherry. Very nice wood.

If I may be permitted a correction to the Hearne Hardwoods URL listed way up above.
It is www.hearnehardwoods.com Please note the s in the URL. I am sure it was just a
typo by Nick and certainly not intentional.

Exotic Hardwoods in Gaithersburg is fantastic.

Here's my suggestions:
1. Hearne Hardwoods in Oxford, PA. 610-932-7400. Has a TON of inventory,
nearly everything you can imagine - pretty cool place to visit.
www.hearnehardwood.com
2. Sandy Pond Hardwoods in Buck, PA. Not as big an inventory, but really
nice people, very helpful. 717-284-5030. www.figuredhardwoods.com . You
should see the tables they have that they custom make - unbelievable!
3. Groff & Groff Lumber in Quarryville, PA. 717-284-0001. No website. Has
a pretty good inventory of wood - almost as much as Hearne. Don't go here
if you looking for a friendly place - or maybe he just doesn't like people
that buy in smaller quantities. He is willing to deal on end cuts and short
pieces, etc.
4. There's a place in Timonium, MD - I think it's called Exoctic Hardwoods.
They're on Deereco Rd, off of Padonia Rd, just off of I-83. They have a
website, but I can't find it right now. You might check the wood source
website, that's how I found them. They have a lot of inventory, but IMHO,
they're prices are pretty high.
Interestingly, there's a guy here in York that's been advertising in the
local paper for 80 bf of cherry for $400. $5.00/bf (?) - I called him, and
he said it was rough cut "old" wood that he bought at auction a few years
back. It's in 12" - 16" widths, which sounded good, and it's 1" thick.
But, after thinking about it, I decided to pass because I think after you
planed it down you'd be lucky to get 3/4" out of it. He's negotiable on the
price. I'm just not sure of the condition of it - some of that "auction"
wood can be pretty bad...If you're interested, send me an email - I just
change the "dot" to "." and the "at" to "@", and I'll send you back his
phone number. I don't know him, not related, etc...just something you might
be interested in.
