Title: A question about supplier
Post by: Kragax on July 27, 2014, 03:33:44 pm: I have been reading past posts but sometimes it's just easier to ask. Do any of you buy wood from Rockler? It looks like a decent selection,
(I can't buy anything but pine around here), but maybe a little pricey. Any better prices around?

Both have a good variety of hardwoods and plywoods and the shipping is not too expensive.

No I do buy wood from Rockler but I have a store near me as well as Woodcraft so I can be there in 20 minutes look pick and no shipping. Then I have been privileged to be the receiver of my favorite wood FREE quite often.

I get some thicker stock from the local big box home improvement stores, and like others, buy thinner stock and baltic birch plywood from http://ocoochhardwoods.com/index.php
