Hardwoods - Tampa Bay Area

Can anyone in the Tampa Bay area give me any good sources for hardwoods. I
live just North of Tampa but can travel anywhere in the Tampa area if
necessary.

Thanks for your help.

Jim

Hey, Jim!

Doing any work on the '54?

I sold my DJ15, plus the table saw, and the drill press. Still have
the RAS, the lathe, and the jig saw, but at least I have some ROOM!

What places do you have over there? I've seen Amazon in Casselberry on
Woodfinders. Is that one of them? I've never been there.

There's supposed to be a pretty good one in Lakeland, which is only
about 45 minutes east of you (depending on I-4). I can't remember the
name, but try http://www.woodfinder.com or do a phone search.

Also, cocobolo inc (http://www.cocoboloinc.com) is in Pinellas Park.

Jim J -- Woodcraft in Clearwater has a small collection of hardwoods for
woodworkers.

Jim B -- What are your suggestions in Orlando? We're near Sebring and
regularly go to Orlando or Tampa for shopping and a night out -- both are
about 110 miles away. How's THAT for a PITA! -- Regards --

Jim - If you can make it over this way (Orlando), I can suggest a couple
places - but I know it's a PITA drive.

There's also a guy who was advertising in the paper for the longest while.
He has a sawmill up in Brooksville. It was about a 30 minutes drive up the
Suncoast Pkwy from the Citrus Park mall. He really had only florida woods
(cyprus, pine, fl. cherry, maple, etc) but everything was under a buck a
foot. Check out the "Building Supplies" section of the trib every so often.
Maybe he'll start to advertise again.

There is "Hardwood Lumber and Millwork" in Lakeland. I haven't been there
is several months (since I moved north), but they used to have a good
selection of excellent quality woods. They were not cheap however.

Good Luck,

Mike

Jim,

I'm in Tampa, too. There were a couple really good places - super prices.
But...much to my dismay, both have recently closed down.

About the best left is Rome Lumber. They have a pretty good selection of
rough lumber. Weiss Hardwoods is in Largo. Lots of nice stuff, although
they aren't the cheapest. I would love to be able to start a lumber company
for wood workers in the area.....maybe one of these days.
