Pwalter5110 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I have seen some of the lumber yards some of you guys get to go to. I am always jealous too! But I got ahold of this single piece of cherry that was 13 in wide and 16 ft long. As jealous as I am of the lumber yards you all go to, I get cherry, walnut, poplar, and maple CHEAP. My mom does accounting for a wholesale lumberyard and I get it at cost. The only problem is, I don't get to see or pick pieces. I can just give my mom measurements and she orders it. This piece costs me a whooping ZERO dollars. It was a Bday gift from my mom. One that I will gladly accept I am using it for a TV stand that I am making. I put down some mineral spirits to make sure my glue line will be disguised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Pritchard Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 It's not what you know, but who you know. TOTALLY jealous. I've been pitching my local lumber yard to be a client of mine. I've told them I can pay me in wood. They've not called me back ... yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Cherry, walnut and maple?? Other than pine 2/4's, that's the only wood there is. Dude you've got it made! If it wasn't so cold up there and so far away, I'd ask your mom to adopt me. Good woodworking w/ these new boards!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But every once and a while it is nice to see the boards before your paying for them. Sometimes I hit the jackpot, other times, not so much.
