I am doing a cabinet project for bud at work and he wants it
to be birch so he can stain it.
I only have worked in red oak in the past so I dont have any
or really want to buy a big supply.
I only need about 200 bf of 4/4 ruff sawn to make up his
doors.
I dont mind traveling to get it if it is not too far from
Lufkin tx. Too far is like 100 -200 miles.
I will even try mail order if it is cheaper than the gas.
I do not own a business just do wood working as a hobby and
only buy my wood locally but he is balking at the price of
birch in the local stores. I really dont blame him they are
quite high.
Thanks Kenny

Houston Hardwoods has 4/5 and 8/4 birch. They are probably over your limit
in time though. They do have a website.

Poplar, maple? Both are very light and usually cheap.

Likewise when I go back to AR to see my daughter in college ... but I have
to get rid of this walnut first. I'd be happier with a 900sf house and 3200
sf shop at this point in my life.

It's just off 360 south of 183 just in Arlington-- They are the only
folks I could find to buy Ash molding from that's near to me. (Van

You really should go a head and go see you daughter this weekend. Bring
your walnut to my house on you way. ;~)
My wife and I use Nacogdoches as a weekend get away occasionally and we took
a 20 minute trip up there to check the Hardwood Barn out. While they do not
have the inventory that the Houston stores have, I talked to them and they
seemed to be quite friendly and helpful. I bet they would be willing to put
an order together for you in advance. IIRC they have a much larger
wholesale operation in a different location.
