Great Wood Supplier

[Gary Campbell]

Guys...
I wanted to put in a plug for one of my favorite online wood suppliers. Bell Forest Products. Luckily they are local for me. Nothing but high quality product in stock. From pen turning stock to 16/4 slabs. Domestic and exotics. Most of our hardwood products come from them. They also provide our cribbage board blanks presized.

Dan,

I'm thinking real serious about your kind of supplier , already looked into a Norwood machine. Do you use a kiln and if so how long to get at 6-8% MC?

[danhamm]

I saw very little green wood, we have and abundance of beetle killed pine and I have lots of timber on the property, birch, fir and spruce..I just kinda take the dead stuff..
But even that needs drying, all the slabs and sawdust go into a large wood furnace in the shop..I dry pile and leave for 6 or so months...I do have a kiln, it used forced air heat from the furnace if we need do a special something, it doesn't take long to get the moisture content down at 140 degrees..3 to 4 days ..

Can't tell from your pic's what brand of mill you are running and are you happy with it?

[danhamm]

Norwood 2000 lumbermate.. 24 hp, 1.5 inch blades..yes very happy with it.
It has butchered a lot of wood, I have plans of making a permanent set of
rails on concrete, it does move around...

I have been buying wood from these guys for awhile. I can tell you that Eric will get you taken care of. Depending on what do you want they are ok... :rolleyes:
There are better suppliers with more figured wood out there ;)

So a couple of years ago I was watching David Marks on the Wood Works TV show and his show was about taking a road trip to his favorite wood store. He lives in Northern California and the show starts off with him heading out with his trailer. The camera then shows him swinging off the highway into Klamath Falls Oregon. I get all excited and say I know that place. Pretty soon he pulls up in front of Cook Woods. I sat down the channel changer and grabbed the yellow pages, sure enough there it was in black and white, Cook Woods, and located right here! So now I hang out where the big boys do! :) A really neat place and a great bunch of folks. Not affiliated just hooked! Russ

Northern California... I get my wood from:

Macbeath Hardwood in Berkeley and SF (http://macbeath.com/) - great source for sheet goods.. They deliver plywood sheets to my shop door two days a week for $7 gas charge (!). I'm an hour north of them.. it would cost me twice that to just to visit them.

Also Mount Storm Forest Products. A huge collection of fine domestic and exotic hardwoods including over 20 plywood species.

Hey Tim,
Where is mount storm located?

[curtiss]

That is quite a place to shop for wood Gary. Thanks.

I have had a bit of luck at the local Habitat for Humanity store.

Wood, foam, laminates & stuff comes in from everywhere, new, old, weathered. Prices are far below what they should be..
