Latest lumber run

[MSGMP]

There is a regional lumber distributer about 40 minutes from my house and I try to make it up there about once a month for lumber runs. Great place with great prices. Huge warehouse facility where they let you pick through the stacks to get what you want. They usually have a decent exotic selection and can order about anything. On my last run, I hit the jackpot. I absolutely love Goncalo Alves, Tiger Wood, and got about 9 board feet along with Zebrawood and some beautiful Santos Mahogany. I make music and jewelry boxes with most of it which is usually resawn down to 1/2". My wife uses the 1/4 to 1/8 inch stuff for her scrollsaw work and I will cut pen blanks from any leftovers. Anyway, had to post a pic of the lumber.

Cool! Always good to have a solid source you can rely on.

Lucky you having a lumber source so close. Nice looking boards.

It would be nice to have the address to this Lumber yard if you would share.

It is called Hardwoods Incorporated, or International Hardwoods depending on who you talk to, and here is the address and phone.

They belong to a big distributer and have a yard in Atlanta, seen you are in GA. Not sure if the Atlanta yard is as user friendly though.

No problem. Not sure which is closer for you in Northern AL, Atlanta or Clarksville. Either way, worth a trip every now and then.
