If you are headed to the South Bay check out Southern Lumber. Although it
has been about 10 years since I left the Bay Area, Southern Lumber used to
have a huge selection of hardwoods.

Walnut trees grow on farms. Orchard trees last only so long before they are
replaced. Better to go to lumber than to fire wood.

Thanks for everyone's resposes. The only place in the bay area I could
find that has quartersawn walnut thicker than 4/4 is a place called
Global Wood Source in San Jose. They say they have 6/4 and 8/4
quartersawn claro walnut. Baker Hardwoods, woodnut.com, handloggers,
MacBeath, PALS, Jakel Enterprises and a few others don't carry it.
Well...if you can't find anywhere local, try www.rusticmill.com/ they are in
Idaho, but they may ship???
(That's the best I have)

It's so hard being a treehugger and a woodworker. That poor huge tree.
That excellent, gorgeous lumber. Sigh.

In Gilroy, try <http://www.bakerhardwoods.com>. He'll probably have it
(claro walnut, perhaps english walnut, unlikely eastern walnut).
You may also wish to check <http://www.jackelenterprises.com/> in
Watsonville. Definitely worth a trip if you're looking for
quantity at a reasonable price. Jackel had 4/4 qtr sawn
for sure last time I was there, call and ask for 6+/4.

I don't think the tree on their website grew in any walnut tree orchard,
unless they cull them every couple of hundred years.

Sure. Still do. At 10x the price of anyone else. Much better to go to
global or aura (both relatively close to downtown sjc). Or better,
make the trip to Jackel in watsonville during one of their weekend sales.
Take a pickup truck along :-)

If you don't mind driving to Chico you could get whatever you want from this
place.
