I took a run up to the Hardwood Store yesterday. Earl said they treated him like a king the last time he went on a wood run, and so I had to see if this was true.
I bought a couple hundred dollars worth of wood, they were VERY helpful! Great prices, and when I pulled out my NCWoodworkers member card, they gave me the price that is reserved for those who buy more than 100 feet of a particular wood -- Pretty good discount!
They had just about everything that I needed except for turning blanks... and you can't really blame them for this, they are a lumber supplier not a hobby store. Next time anybody from Goldsboro goes up there though, take a pound of McCalls Barbecue to Wayne. I bet the reward will be handsome!
He even threw in a short stick of Sapele for free when I asked him about it.
The drive is worth the service!
