Where in western NC can I find KD 2" X 2" (8/4) maple, ash or white oak? All I need is 4 36" long pieces for a kitchen island. The island is to be 24" X 59" X 36" high. There will be a cabinet in the middle and open ends for the trash can. Three drawers will line the front. A granite top will finish it off, that's why I want to use sturdy wood. I could glue something up but it would generally be 1.5" finished. Dealers either don't have anything on hand or they want me to buy 100 bd ft minimum.
The job also requires the skirting: 1 X 6.5" X 56" ; 2 ea and 1 X 6.5" X 24"; 2 ea. This should be the same wood as the legs. HELP |

Bob, is red oak an option? If so, I may have some laying around.

Bob,
Did you try BeeTree Hardwoods in Swanannoa (they're listed in the rsources for zone 1).

Thanks, Scott. Red oak isn't my first choice but could be used. Let me get back to you after searching a little longer. | |

Bob, if you haven't checked this list yet, you might find a few more places to check out. http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/view.php?pg=woodlist

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Bob,
You might consider ordering an 8/4 UPS Bundle from Wall Lumber in Mayodan, north of Greensboro. They have all three woods you're looking for. Otherwise, I'd suggest you check Bee Tree Hardwoods as Dan Campbell suggested for local availability.

Thanks everybody for your help. I'll call some of the district 1 suppliers tomorrow. The website had all the answers---should have started here. | |
