Swanner (listed earlier in this thread) will sell small amounts, mostly
domestic though.
Arroyo has domestic and exotics, prices seem a bit high (higher than
Swanner).
House of Hardwoods is pretty good, if you happen to be over in that
area. They also have a wide belt sander, if you need a table top
smoothed up.
I know what you mean about LA, been here all my life and STILL can't
find things.
Yahoo yellow pages seems to help a lot, will find businesses sorted by
distance from your address.
