Check out Woodpecker Hardwoods in St. James on Long Island. John over
there will beat any price on hardwoods and is getting all kinds of
exotics in. He's even got a 10 board foot piece of pink ivory on hand!

You had my hopes up there for a moment. While the prices do seem cheaper
than I've seen at other places here on the island, they are not cheaper
than I can get via mail order including shipping. Sure, there is something
to be said for picking out your boards. But I'm not quite ready to pay
20% extra for that luxury. I will have to keep the place in mind next
time I need a small amount of something to finish up a project.

I believe that this company offers a discount to the Long Island Woodworkers
Club. Could be, then, close to a wash.
