I have dreamed about working in chestnut for some time. Found this site: http://www.appalachianwoods.com/lumber/current_lumber_items.htm today while cruising on the Inet. The yard is up in VA, a bit of a hike from the Triangle. Take a gander at the last item - Number 22.
If there is enough interest we might be able to do a group buy. Would be a logistical challenge, but one that is not overly difficult if the will is there. Price would have to be negotiated, but maybe within striking distance of something affordable. Major challenge is that to buy 100BF or so would be over half a grand. That is a lot of money to have tied up in wood. Hmmm ... wonder if the SWMBO would see it as a good deal?
Anyone have an interest? Need around a dozen or so to make this dream a reality.

I cannot afford any wood purchases right now but judging from the prices they post for heart pine furniture if I get busy building and selling using my stash of HP I might be able to afford some chestnut. :gar-La;
