Lumber Source in Asheville?

[jacalart]

Looking for 'fancy wood' source in/around Asheville. By 'fancy' I mean nicely figured. No exotics. Just reliable maple, cherry, walnut. I need a place that does basic milling on the spot (plane, edge straighten). I use Bee Tree in Fletcher and Cormark in Weaverville, but wonder if there's anything closer to South Asheville.

If you find a place let me know. I live in south Asheville and have the same problem as you. In the past couple of years I have found on Facebook a guy in Tn around Johnson City that had good cherry 4/4 for 3 dollars a Bf , kiln dried. I have my own planer. Also found at Scroungers 300 Bf of Sapele for $2.75. Then found a guy selling 8/4 sugar Maple for $3.00 a BF here in town. All good wood clear but nothing Fancy . Try talking to Brian Boggs. He is in town, just look up his name. He does very custom furniture and might be able to steer you in the right direction.

Gennett in Fletcher? Check the link for lumber dealers in my signature. Matt Christie, Green River is back in business on Emma Rd.

I think Gennett sells sheet goods now, but no lumber. I'd definitely call ahead to check. I used to buy lots from them when they were down by the river.

Same here when we lived there in the 80s-90s. There are a few small lumber businesses within 20 minutes of you. Master NCWW Lumber Dealers
