fryovanni Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Have a look in your local phone books. You are bound to have local hardwood dealers, cabnet shops, etc... in your area. Shipping adds a great deal to the cost of wood. If you are trying to save money look local. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found this is true only of (highly) figured stuff. In board form, 'normal' woods (and Swamp Ash, Alder, Mahogany, Bubinga, Walnut, Maple, Limba, Basswood, to name the stuff I buy occasionally) is cheaper, by far, locally. Even in expensive-as-heck Europe. Mattia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
