Lumber supplier wanted

[khaos]

I am looking for a supplier of domestic and import woods. Hampton Roads, VA would be nice but you know what you want and take what you can get. Currently I am looking for some mahogany and hickory pieces 12"x20"(ish) & 10/4

Some purple heart and padauk would be great. I looked on line and pen blanks are easy. Bigger pieces, not so much.

Hey Joe

You'll pay top dollar but Yukon Lumber on 22nd street in Norfolk, just off Colonial, has just about anything you could want.

Hey Joe,

Still got some but the pile is dwindling. It was an amazing pile of plastic..certainly the most "profitable" ShopBot event I've ever been to!

I used to live a couple of blocks from Yukon and have been dealing with them since they first opened. They aren't cheap but are great folks to deal with and have an amazing inventory of exotics and domestic lumber.

OK I just got a great piece of poplar 4x18x72 from Yukon. I got there like 30 seconds before they closed and was able to describe what I wanted to do and I opted to get the whole piece vs a partial. all for < 150
