   Try Hearne Hardwoods in Oxford, Pa. They have the very best Pennsylvania cherry I've ever seen and they do a huge amount of shipping.    Steve

   I like Steve Wall lumber in NC.  I have found that even with shipping, I get better wood at about the same cost as local cherry. 

   Also Groff & Groff in Pennsylvania by phone or fax, not internet, if you want something special.  High quality, flat and straight.

   ShopNotes this issue (86) has an article on MailOrder lumber and some suppliers - most seem to have internet sites.

   It also has a nice project for making a thickness sander and using the TS for the drive.

   1 - measure the board twice, 2 - cut it once, 3 - measure the space where it is supposed to go        4 - get a new board and go back to step 1
