tcarswell Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Is this a local phenomenon? My local sand city seaside home depot carries black walnut. I always pick through the stacks because I find curly hard maple in with the hard maple and lots of curly cherry in with the cherry . But recently I've been finding Tons of curly and crotch figured walnut in with the black walnut. The down side is the cost it's fas s4s sold by the foot at 5.83 a foot so roughly 12 a bd ft. Sometimes I can't help myself . I also found some veneer grade birdseye in there a while back. Anyone else have luck cherry picking at the orange depot ?

Tom King Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 For hardwood, HD around here sells Poplar, Maple, and Red Oak-never anything to brag about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyami Plotke Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Wow. That's a beautiful board. Alas it must be a local phenomenon, as I've never seen Walnut in any big box store in New York. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Been seeing lots of reports of tiger maple at Menards, and saw a board there myself too. Haven't bought any because every purchase I've made there has warped all crazy like there. Haven't checked my local HD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 My local HD doesn't carry it but, I've seen a bunch of that at my local HW dealer. Nice looking stuff for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcarswell Posted September 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I'll post a pic of a curly walnut board I got later. Too beautiful to cut. I've found a few birdseye maple at my home depot as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Melton Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I get excited when I can find a piece of plywood that isn't jacked up at my BORG. They do sell red oak and polar at riculous prices, but that's it on the hardwood front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 You are buying walnut? You?I have an important message for you courtesy of the Mayo Clinic:Hoarding disorderHoarding disorder is a persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions because of a perceived need to save them. A person with hoarding disorder experiences distress at the thought of getting rid of the items. Excessive accumulation of items, regardless of actual value, occurs.Hoarding often creates such cramped living conditions that homes may be filled to capacity, with only narrow pathways winding through stacks of clutter. Some people also collect animals, keeping dozens or hundreds of pets in unsanitary conditions because they can't care for them properly.Hoarding ranges from mild to severe. In some cases, hoarding may not have much impact on your life, while in other cases it seriously affects your functioning on a daily basis.People with hoarding disorder often don't see it as a problem, making treatment challenging. But intensive treatment can help people with hoarding disorder understand their compulsions and live safer, more enjoyable lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 First step in the treatment is to reduce. . I volunteer to help you reduce your slab pile by at least half, cuz that's the kind of class a guy I am. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcarswell Posted September 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I have an account at jackal. Decent place good prices . Almost no exotics or figured woods but they are nice to have around for sure. The owner can be difficult but with real commercial lumberyard you take what you can get ....As far as hoarding I don't have a hoarding problem I just need more space and storage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinF Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I don't know about Home Depot, but menards sells, maple, red oak, walnut, hickory, ash, poplar, and soft maple in random widths and lengths, of course it's all ridiculously over priced, and all but the random maple is shrink wrapped so I don't bother looking at it.
