Hello - I am considering a wainscoting project that will involve poplar
rails and stiles various 1/4 rounds and possibly (Yet TBD) raised panels.
I
have all the tools and experience to mill my own stock but I have never
seen
(Nor have I looked for) poplar in the rough. Can yall tell me if its
cheaper
to buy 4/4 or 5/4 poplar in the rough versus s4s at the borg? Poplar
cause
it will be painted.

If you can't beat the BORGS linear foot prices for poplar at a hardwood
lumber yard, you're not trying.

Unless you have a jointer and planer, even S2S1E poplar should be a lot
cheaper, and all you need is a table saw with a good fence to "mill" it to
your widths.
