Hi Guys,
Just trying to get an idea what the rest of the country pays for S3S
(or S4S) 4/4 Maple with minimal defects. The hardwood dealer by me
charges $6.50 Bd/ft on a good day. Most widths are less than 8". I got
some from Rockler at their last sale for $2.50 bd/ft which seems like
a bargin compared to the hardwood dealer....but for all I know that's
what everyone pays on a day to day basis.
I'm also curious about what you guys pay for cherry and hardwood sheet
goods.
Thanks
Mark
too much!

Wow it sucks to be some of you guys. If I had to pay over a hundred bucks
for a single sheet of oak (yuck) plywood Id never make a dime. I have a
local supplier here that can get me all the maple I want for about $3.75.
The last time I was there (last week) there was a large pile of good looking
4/4 maple around 8" average in width and all 8' long. I went through the top
five boards and found one visible knot. *Knot* bad I thought! They had some
13" wide purpleheart too for $3.50 which I promtly bought 50' of since I was
there.

Yes, Thanks. I've been to Hardwood Products a few times. I live in West U,
which is not that far from Hardwood Lumber if you go straight down Montrose,
with no freeway driving with a pile of lumber on top of my old Jeep
Cherokee..
Been going to Hardwood Lumber for a good while, and some of my family were
doing business with them back when they were "Clarkson's" (IIRC, that was
the name back then) ... good guys, good wood, good figure, not so good
prices ... but I've gotten what I've paid for there with very little waste,
which makes up for the price differential much of the time.
Their dimensioned hardwoods are out of sight, price wise, and not even
considered ... except on the rare occasion when you can find that one board
with just the right figure and width or length requirement, AND someone else
is paying for it.
Nice just look through some of that stuff, though.

Those prices were actually from Hardwood Lumber over in the Heights, and off
recent invoices. The plywood was QS, as well as the white oak ... they're
damn proud of QS. You must be better looking than me. :)

It's all relative I suppose. I sometimes resort to drop shipping large
purchases, and make out better than some of the local places.
As for the sheet goods at CWG, I don't know what to think. They sell 5'x5'
sheets of 3/4" Baltic Birch for only $29. Not sure why they rip ya a new
anus for the nice hardwood plywoods. I have only ever bought one sheet of
3/4" cherry plywood and it cost me about $80, IIRC.

Well that explains it... they are proud, but do take good care of their
wood. With he new bins getting wood is much easier. You do know about
Hardwood Products also don't you?

This is where I buy my wood from. Great people to deal with. I am
local, but they do ship.

from a guy with a bandsaw mill.

Brian do you have a store name? The Cherry might be worth shipping
for me, the same boards are $2.00 more a foot locally.
That's roughly what Maple is here in Houston for S2S1E ... deduct about .60
b/f for rough 4/4. Cherry is about the same, and the last 3/4" Oak sheet
goods I bought a few months back was around $116/4X8. I buy a good deal of
QS white oak and it runs around $5.45 b/f for rough 4/4, and $6.20 for
S2S1E.
There are some places that are cheaper, but I find the waste factor and
grain is generally better at the places with higher prices. I've gotten some
QSWO locally for as little as $2.25 bf, but most of it was unusable with
regard to length ... and length is generally more important for my projects
than width.

Geez Swingman, where are you buying? I'm looking at a price sheet that gets
passed out to the general public during the summer and 4/4 s3s Hard Maple
is going for $4.75 b/f. I get a contractor break on that. Cherry $5.95.
Red Oak A-1 VC $58.95 & LC $65.95. White Oak 4/4 $3.75 s3s. Not sure about
the QS. This is at HardWood PRODUCTS.
Where are you buying? If I want better with out hunting I go to HardWood
Lumber..
at the following:
http://www.cwghardwoodoutlet.com/
you can get rough 4/4 hard maple FAS/sel for $4.40/bf up to 10" widths.

The biggest place in Chicago charges $5.29 for 4/4 hard maple surfaced on
two sides.
