Save me a trip? Need 8/4 Cherry in/around Sanford/ RTP

[HMH]

Hey Folks,

I am in need of about 8bf of 8/4 Cherry, (roughly a 6"W x8'L board), to use for legs. I have plenty of 4/4, (already surfaced to 3/4"), and thought hard about laminating 3 of them to get a 1.3/4" leg, but I'm not sure I'd be happy with the resulting seams.

I've called the local lumber yards, but no-one has 8/4 in stock, (except one, but $12.61/bf is a little too steep for me). I can always make a run up to Gibsonville, but I really only get shop time on Saturdays, & a trip to the Hardwood Store would take a pretty healthy chunk, (about 3hrs. round-trip.)

If anyone local(ish) has a board in their stash they wouldn't mind selling, I'd be most appreciative.

Thanks!

Have you called Capitol City Lumber? I have found they are pretty reasonable price-wise. Best of luck.

We have some but Iron Station is a little far for you...Probably 2-2.5 hours...

Thanks Chris!

Mark, (mkepke), was kind enough to help me out on this one though. It was just one of those situations where I needed a one board and didn't want to spend all of my Saturday morning shop time making a run.

I've been hearing good things about your setup in Iron Station - For my next wood run, I'll definitely keep you guys in mind. Thanks again!
