good -- and trustworthy -- online source of curly hard maple?
Dear all,
I'm in need of quite a bit of curly hard maple for a kitchen cabinet project, and it's just not conveniently available where I live (Sacramento area, CA), as far as I know. I'm contemplating an experimental purchase from MapleLeaf Hardwoods, about which good things have been said here in the past. Anybody have recent experience with them that's worth sharing? (Google didn't provide anything more recent than the late '90s.) Other recommendations also gratefully accepted. Price *IS* an object, but reliability and honesty are paramount. Cheers, Abe -- A numeral would be more efficient than spelling out "ONE" in an email addy, don't you think? |

It was a bust (didn't turn up anything I didn't already know about). It's mighty discouraging sometimes to live in CA when most of the best and most interesting woods have to be trucked in at great expense from elsewhere. -- A numeral would be more efficient than spelling out "ONE" in an email addy, don't you think? |

There is a place in Rancho Cordova, not too far from Naturewood that carries lots of hardwoods. I think it is called Hughes Hardwoods, 11441 Sunrise Gold Circle, Rancho Cordova Ph 916-638-8658 Last time I was there 4-6 weeks ago they had lots of oak & walnut, both sheet and solid goods. I think I remember that they also carried some maple. Good luck & safe turning Galban |

In Stockton they are hit or miss, with some decent deals (by CA standards) on occasion. Unfortunately, they've never had any figured maple when I've looked.

Abe,
Gallery deals in figured hardwood. Call before you drive over there. Nick Abe wrote in message .net... In article , says...

I guess there are two Abes in Sacramento. Who would guess. Nick Heh. You're right -- there must be two of us... I've visited Higgins and talked to the people in their office. They didn't *appear* to do a great deal of business in figured wood, though they had a few boards of birdseye maple on hand. Acres of plain hardwoods, of course. I didn't consider them as a possible source for this project because I need more than a few boards (of curly maple). Did I miss something? Is there somebody on their staff who specializes in figured wood? Cheers, Abe |
