Anybody Know Of An Exotic Lumber Yard In South Eastern Pennsylvania?

[Mr. Preston Swift]

I can't seem to find any exotic lumber yards in my area. I live about 45 miles northwest of Philadelphia. I went to the Woodcraft place but they don't have much. Anybody know of a good one in my area?

thx

I can help a little with some exotics but mostly natives. In Kempton, Pa is Bailey's Lumer. It is about 15 minutes north is I-78, around the area with Cabela's. Here is there website.

Search for Lumber shops in PA

Honestly, I don't know that area, but I did a search for Southeastern PA zip codes and got 19399 and plugged that into the woodfinder.com search and got the results shown below, though on the site you can click and more info. Don't know how close that zip is to you, but I figured you could do a more precise search with your actual zip and get better results. That site can be helpful in finding places, it generally does a decent job of showing you some options for your area. Honestly, its well worth calling most of the places as sometimes random hardwood shops carry many exotics and are often kiln dried, so again, its worth putting in some calls. Well best of luck, hope you find a good shop or two. J

I just checked and it seems the link didn't save the info I typed in, so I just linked the search page instead. These places listed are what I got using the area code I mentioned. Just type in your area code in the main search for that site and it will list many of these places and you can then click on the names for more information about them, like phone numbers or if they have their own site. Again, I don't have any idea of how close these are, I just used a random southeastern zip I found, you'll have to search using your own zip for more accurate info. Best of luck. J

I've been on Baileys website a few times but I haven't been down their yet. I've heard it was very good. You probably live in or around berks county right?

I live in Lehigh county. They have a nice set up. They don't really have any of the rosewoods or ebony, but the do have some purpleheart, padauk, lacewood and some other stuff.

I was just at Hudock's Hardwoods (just north of Pottstown) this weekend to pickup some 8/4 Basswood. I was mostly looking at domestic hardwoods, but he seems to have a good selection (including exotics). The owner/operator was very helpful and responsive to email.

Here is another place but probably more of a drive, near Trenton NJ. They are small but they have a modest collection of exotics. I find their prices reasonable. Small hole in the wall off the beaten path. Even though they have a web presence it's a low tech company. They also do tree services and and mill their own domesstic lumber. They have an annual auction where you can pick up 500 board feet of mostly domestic stock bundles for a low price. At least the last one I went to 4 years ago.
