Well, I'm deeply envious. There's nothing but HD and Lowes here (NW
Florida) and a couple of small suppliers who serve the local hobby market
and charge fairly high prices. Mail order seems pretty expensive when you
add in the freight.

I'm bereft.

At Houston Hardwoods, Ash is 1.95/bd.ft, Red Oak #1 common is 1.75/bd.ft,
Poplar $1.80/bd.ft, and #1 common poplar is 1.13/bd.ft. All these prices is
for 4/4 stock. For 50 cents/bd.ft. they will mill it S2S1E.
IIRC, the borg prices for oak and poplar is about 4.00/bd. ft.
I normally buy the wood S2S1E.

I can't imagine buying wood from the borg. :-)

I guess I'll go look for radiata pine.
OBTW, Clark Hardwood Company prices are a little more than HH, but still
much cheaper than the borg.
