Just returned from Anchor Hardwoods, Wilmington, to pick up a little Red Oak. John helped me quickly, and even planed the stock. Living in Hampstead (17 MI North), it is convenient for me to stop at a nearby big blue box store for small quantities of lumber, especially since I stop there so often for other shop materials and supplies, but this convenienvce blinds me to prices! Here, I was not only able to get the Red Oak I wanted, and get it thicker than the standard 3/4" box store limitation, which was a big plus for this job, but I was also able to get it at half the price of the other guys!
Kodos to Anchor for good prices and great service. It is well worth the trip and now I'll be making more.
