Curly Maple Source? - Mike 55 - 04-29-2021
Hi all,
Anyone know of a good place that has a good selection of curly maple 4/4 near the Savannah area. The only place I know is Case Woodworking supply. I'm willing to travel a few hours if needed. I was up in Hickory NC a month ago at West Penn hardwood and they did not have a great selection. I'm looking for 9 to 10" wide boards 10 ft long. I need 3 of them.
Thanks
Mike

You can try and see if Woodbarter has some local guys with some maple

You might have to travel up to Mableton to Atlanta Hardwoods or down to Jacksonville, FL

There are several options:
https://www.peachstatelumber.com/lumber
and
Atlanta Hardwood in Mableton, GA
I’ve heard of these guys in Jax but never used:
https://www.hooddistribution.com/product-overview/mcewen-group-overview/
There’s this:
http://www.curlymaple.com/
And, of course:
https://www.cookwoods.com/
Cook is renowned for their timbers
Before you drive anywhere call around; you might find shipping from Cook or Curly is less expensive than driving and a better result.

Gary,
Thanks for the info. Even though I'm retired a drive to Oregon is not going to happen. LOL. I like seeing what I'm buying. The other place in PA is not far from where I lived so it will be on my list when I go back home to visit family. The one in Jax is a 2 hour drive and Atlanta is about 4. I will call both to see what they stock.

I went to the Mableton store many years ago; it was like being in a candy shop.

Its a drive, but check with Steve Wall Lumber, Mayodan, NC.
I know they have figured maple.
