Need to buy some strong wood for the frame of a new puzzle box tomorrow. I'll let my fingers do the walkin', but I thought maybe someone would know offhand who stocks hickory in the Ralieigh area? I generally just go to Klingspoor but I don't ever remember seeing it there... |

Maybe Capital City Lumber? Just off of Hillsborough near the Arboretum. I forget the name of the street.

I've had some chunks come out of those bags big enough for two or three pens. (But alas I didn't have a lathe at the time and the pork shoulder needed more smoke)

I wasn't really trying to be funny - those hickory chips might just work for you and the are dry too.

I actually need, you know, lumber. I do this for a living. | |

You might have more luck finding Pecan in this area. If they are not side-by-side you would be hard pressed to tell the difference. (I found out the hard way that if they ARE side-by-side there IS a difference).  | |

Thanks Bob. Actuallt I may just go with purpleheart. Probably just as tough and usually easier to find. | |

Ever thought about Ash? It is really hard. But relatively easy to work with.

Meh, went to klingspors and bought some purpleheart....heck of a deal at $4.99 per BF for 8/4!
Actually I ended up with Purpleheart, quilted maple, jatobe, walnut and they got a nice shipment of bloodwood in too. I hate being a lumber junky!  | |

I have about 400 bf of hickory, mostly clear, that I had bandsawed up into 4/4 and 6/4 stock abut 4 years ago. It has been airdrying under cover (a frame I built off the ground). I have not surfaced it and the edges are waney, although the ends have been painted. I have used a bit of it for varioius projects. I am willing to sell some. Maybe $2/bf?
