I see we shop at the same place. I just do it online. Gilmer, Bellforest, Uniquewoodworld and woodcraft are just some of the places I shope. And lastly where I seem to get a lot of my call making needs is THO's store.

I do a lot at Woodcraft. But Al takes a lot of my money too.
Uniquewoodworld for stabilized stuff, THO gets a bit of my business, Gilmers, Cooks wood, and rutply for dymondwood dowels. Holy cow, now i know why I am always broke. LOL!

Candy Store? You want a Candy Store?
There are few places like this anywhere. It's an hour drive for me, and i have to tell you, I alsways take cash, and NEVER a credit card.
Check this place out. The building they have all the good wood in is called "The Burl Barn" if that tells you anything. And exotics? You can get cocobolo in 8 x 8 x 24 - slabs of whole trees, bring a truck and they will load a burl in it for you.

OMG :shck: I can see why you only take cash Al. :huh: Thats what I would call wood porn. :eyebrow:
Al, Righteous Woods is where I get 90% of my wood. I always get exactly what I ask for at a decent price, and they are always ready to help find just the right pieces for you. Brian.
Few of the places I've lived most of my life have had any kind of good sources for the higher grades of hardwoods within even a long driving distance. So for a long time I have bought almost all of my wood right from the sawyers that harvest the plant, including the exotics which I import into the country. But a few years ago I bought a few slabs from places like Cooks and Hardwoods of Yuma when I ran low and didn't have time to import new stock. Not as high of quality as the woods I get direct, but some of it was serviceable. Get my chemicals to make my own finishes from, and sanding/polishing products both direct from MFG's mostly. Make the majority of my turning and detail tools myself.
