   In your very own state, in Mayodan, is an excellent dealer in furniture woods, Steve Wall Lumber: http://www.walllumber.com/default.asp

   His site currently lists select cherry 4/4 at less than $5/b.f. and other grades at lower prices.

   If Atlanta is closer, I shop at Suwanee Lumber and last time I purchased (just a few weeks ago) it was less than $5 per board foot.  Here is there web site.  The drive probably wouldn't make sense unless you needed a good amount.

   I've been paying around $7 for clear and $5 for FAS (which are pretty worthless in most cases). Those are NJ/SE PA prices.

   Wannabe,

   Another option is  "The Hardwood Store of North Carolina" ( http://www.hardwoodstore.com ). They  have the best prices and selection on domestics of any retailer that I have seen in NC.  They are 20 minutes east of Greensboro on 85/40. Where are you in NC?

   Hi Bob, is this price for rough or planed lumber? That to me seems very high. I don't know of any place along your path, but here in southern Indiana I am paying $3.15 a boardfoot for 4/4 select & better or $ 1.70 for #1 common, this is rough milled. The mill that I go to will also plane it for $ .15 a bf and rip one edge for $.075 a pass.

   From the looks of the other prices on the board I am glad that I don't live on the east coast.

   Mike
