Yeah, I'm going to have to actually stop by the shop. When I worked as a cabinetmaker our shop bought all of our materials there, and they still give me the "pro" prices. I was lazy and just dropped them an email, and I got a reply from the owner's son's wife, who works at the counter. I'm making friends with a couple of sawyers and reaching out to someone who runs a kiln and stocks "domestic exotic" lumber. He's dried some stuff for me in the past. It's not a full-time job for him, so it's a little 1980s- phone tag, since he doesn't use email. I'm a little frustrated that we have all of this great lumber regionally, especially Maple, it shouldn't be so hard to get through my regular sources. It DEFINITELY shouldn't be harder to get than Sitka spruce...
