Hardwood in Dallas, Texas
My favorite hardwood vendor in Dallas has been Blue Linx (formerly Austin)
Hardwoods. I drove by there last week and they had closed. I went over to Hardwood Lumber and they have moved and downsized to just a minimal selection. Curly Woods in McKinney closed last year. I don't care if Lehman Brothers survives or not, but when my wood pushers start closing, this economy has gone too far. I know about Wood World, Woodcraft, and Rockler. Is there any place left in the Dallas area where I can a wide variety of hardwood at reasonable prices? Thanks, Doug |

Not good. What about Austin Hardwoods? |

Hardwood in Dallas, Texas
Central Hardwoods
2605 Rodney Dallas, TX 75229 972-241-3571 Just off Denton Dr. about a mile south of 635. They are a wholesale distributor and will sell 50bd ft of hardwood and single sheets of plywood. I suggest you call first as they have a "will call" desk but I do not think they take walk in orders. B "Douglas Johnson" wrote in message ...

A little searching turned up Central Hardwoods. They're located a few blocks from where Blue Linx used to be but I haven't had a chance to investigate yet. There's also Brazos Forest Products off of 360 but the selection is sorely lacking. If you find a decent supplier please post back for the benefit of others. Larry |
