The neighbor across the street just cut down a large, beautiful maple tree. I was out recovering from surgery, so I wasn't able to get my hands on any of the large logs (plus I don't have a place to put them now, or a truck). However, after she saw me picking through the wormy split logs she...
Spotted this ad on Craigslist a few minutes ago, and anyone near Holly Springs with a little time and equipment can grab a nice tree at a bargain. Ad says Red Oak, but it doesn't look oaky to me! You be the judge....too far for me to go to get it.

Understanding that Southern Yellow Pine availability has been reduced due to lower production levels in southern sawmills, I am still hoping for some luck.
I can get all the 2x8, 2x10, and 2x12 SYP I could ever desire right now from the Orange BORG. As of today (Wednesday) it looks pretty nice...
I am building cabinets and I need a couple sheets longer than 8 feet to avoid a joint. Does anyone know where I can pick up 10 foot sheets near Charlotte? I'm planning to paint them but I'd like to have decent quality because I plan to use them for the cabinet tops. The only other thing I...
Hello all,
New to this site and a beginner woodworker as well. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for places to purchase lumber in the Concord/Cabarrus County area? Plan to build furniture mostly, but will likely do other things as well. Thanks in advance!

CL ad for walnut & cherry lumber. I just got back from looking at it and most looks good. Seller says about 60% is walnut 30% cherry and other is mixture of white oak, cedar and hickory. I didn't get too far cause seller wants it all gone or nothing. It is all stickered for about 3 years. I took...
Hey Folks-time to thin down the herd a bit-these are lots I recently acquired on a bulk lumber purchase where I only really wanted the butternut for sale.
Sooo..... who's ready for some great deals:
1st up : 76 bd/ft of S2S 3/4" thick cherry (I'd say in between #1 common and fas quality)...
On this morning's episode of This Old House they were showing how they constructed a pine top dining table. As part of the finishing they applied a two-part epoxy to strengthen the pine top. It was further explained that they would then poly over that surface. The epoxy mix really brought out...
Picked up a few hundred bdft of relatively soft (not quite big leaf super soft maple) maple and I've got a lot more than I can use. I've got it sorted out front of my garage right now because someone was supposed to come pick up a decent chunk of it this morning and flaked at the last minute. If...
