   Hi Westchester, I just opened the link, and it went straight into my favorites folder. I will be checking that out later, don't know if you have the link I put in earlier, prices seem good, and a good  variety of woods. Thank You for the info. garyowen

   If you're near western Mass., take a look at Berkshire Products in Sheffield (www.berkshireproducts.com). One of the things they specialize in is sequence cut lumber.

   Good luck. Matt

   I'm glad you enjoyed the last few issues, and I hope you continue to find them useful and enjoyable.

   As for the location of Berkshire Products, they're in Sheffield, Mass. Here is a link to a google map.

   Your best bet for finding a sequence cut tree at rock bottom prices is to find a local sawmill. The one downside is that you will probably need to dry the wood yourself. Air drying lumber isn't a big deal, but it does take time (at least 1 year) and space. We have an article on air dyring lumber here. And if you search on "sawmill" using the search box on any of our pages, you'll find a list of sawmills by state as well as a video tour of a boutique sawmill.

   Good luck.

   To Mkenny and RalphBarker, Thank you both for the info. Matt, had no problems with your links, Sheffield is a bit of a ride but may make a nice day trip, I enjoy the magazine very much, as does my wife, she comments on all the furniture, (my only fear is I may need to move into a warehouse, to fit it all!!). Ralph I put that link in the reply to alan23. I am glad to hear you have had good luck with them, prices seem reasonable, and good to know the lengths you bought, and shipping was no problem. I am starting to pick up some good info from all those here, Thanks So Much. garyowen

   More for the benefit of others reading this thread, I've used Woodworkers Source in AZ a couple of times. My experience was that they provide good service, and do an excellent job of packaging smaller quantities (I've purchased their 10 and 20-board foot "packs")  to minimize damage during shipment.

   I shop Wood Workers Source, as they are only 10 minutes from my house. I know the guy who selects and packages the material for shipping quite well. He takes great pride in getting good comments back from his customers. They carry a great deal of imported material and have some interesting stock. That is where I found the Bubinga slab for a table that C H R I S and I built.

   The do not have great eastern hardwoods, and having checked out a few yards in VA, it is not the same. Everything is milled and on the thin side, 4/4 is really 3/4. Kiln dried and average. That can be a challange. But for small projects and interesting wood they are great.
