I'm in Hickory too. Catawba is the place to go, but you have to watch out if you buy less than 100 bdft. They will jack the price $0.50 a bdft if you try to buy less unless they know you pretty well. They aren't open on the weekends and are only open 8-5 M-F. If you want to buy smaller quantities PM me and I'll pick it up with my next stop and save you some $$$. They don't charge me the markup because historically I've bought a lot of lumber.
