Anbody ever been to sunrise sawmill in Asheville. here is there website http://www.sunrisesawmill.com/
According to the site: they buy logs, mill logs, custom sawing, and they sell green lumber. I don't think they dry wood. Since the lumber is green it's very affordable. Anybody bought lumber here? What was your experience? |

Looks like they have very reasonable prices for fresh sawn pine and poplar -- it would be nice to know what happens to their other hardwoods in fresh sawn state...

I've done business with them. Don and Michelle are very nice and have a small selection of domestic hardwood. They have some stuff that is air dryed. They are a small family operation and many times will work with you on price. I highly recommend.

They are good-hearted natives and were getting set to cut a 24" pine log for a custom Windsor chair maker. They spent 20-30 minutes showing me their kiln-dried stock on hand -- Soft and Ambrosia and Curly Maple, Red and White Oak (incl. QSWO), walnut, some ash, cherry, poplar and some mahogany. SM is $2.50/BF; $3-5 for Ambrosia or Curly Maple. Ash $2.50. R/W Oak $2.50. Cherry and walnut $3.75-$4 -- all are 4/4 selects. They also can custom cut -- and have air dried stock as well.
BTW -- I'd be happy to check out Sunrise Sawmill, too!   Anybody gonna pony up some gas money??

I left a phone number of that Dave wrote on the card -- 272-0989. Don't forget to tell them that McRabbet (Rob Payne) gave you the info -- I hope they will end up giving us a group discount. And, I also failed to mention that Dave is a member of the Mountain Carvers Assoc. in Asheville and they can supply turners with wood stock as well.
