How to find wood locally
1. Many sawmills are small businesses and do not
advertise, or are even listed in the phone book.
To find wood locally you can go out in the suburbs or
in the country and ask the chamber of commerce
for the locations all of the sawmills in the area.
If you find a large wholesale sawmill, ask the manager
if he could sell you a small quantity.
Many of them will not mind selling directly
to a woodworker for some extra word of mouth
business.
Here are the
Specials at
Rockler
2. Ask a lumber store owner where a couple of
small sawmills are in the area. Also, many small
lumber yards carry many varieties of 3/4 " hardwoods.
3. Many State Forest Centers have
lists of sawmills and will send the lists to you.
4. Most lumber stores and Home Centers sell
hardwoods. The Major ones sell wood that is already
surface planed and sanded. This is an expensive
source, but you don't have to
plane the wood and sanding is practically done for
you. So this is a savings compared to wood that
might have deep machine marks or snipe.
5. Call some local woodworkers, found in the phone book.
6. If you need 1/2 " thick wood or similar size,
lumber yards can plane their stock for you.
7. Buy a mini-mill and you will never be short
of supplies. You can possibly find a tree removal
business who will notify you when they a cutting down trees.
8. Rockler sells a hand-held sawmill that holds
firewood logs. You might want to make your cuts
thicker with this method to allow for warping. Here
is what
it looks like

9. Find woodworkers in your area and ask them their source.
10. As a last resort, call some cabinet shops and
ask where they would advise you to buy wood.
