Curly Maple Source? - Mike 55 - 08-01-2022 Hi all, I'm in need of a primo curly maple place. I will be heading up to PA from SC in a few weeks. I know of one place that may have a good selection, but no guarantee. Anyone know of a place? Thanks, Mike RE: Curly Maple Source? - joe1086 - 08-01-2022 I've never been there but Hearne Hardwoods has a good reputation. About midway between Baltimore and Philadelphia. Some eye candy here: Hearne Hardwood RE: Curly Maple Source? - joe1086 - 08-01-2022 Another place half hour off I-95 is Exotic Hardwoods in Annapolis MD. I've shopped here lots of times. Not a huge operation but they have nice material. Exotic Lumber RE: Curly Maple Source? - FS7 - 08-01-2022 Mike, I'm about ten miles off 95 (exit 152 in VA) and my supplier generally has very good stock. I was planning on heading down there to resupply this week or next (they're about 40 minutes from me) and if you're not dead set on hand-picking anything I can certainly get you a good amount. Their material is usually very good quality with great figure. I often use their "dollar bin" cutoffs and bargain boards (lots of wane or checking) for cutting boards and they turn out wonderfully. Their rack lumber is almost always excellent. http://cpjohnsonlumber.com/lumber-prices/ RE: Curly Maple Source? - OneStaple - 08-01-2022 I've gotten some really nice stuff from Dunlap Woodcrafts in Chantilly, VA. They have a specialty in gunstocks (often primo curly maple), but also carry lots of boards and slabs, which is what I've purchased in the past. Not a huge operation, so it could be worth calling ahead.

I'm building a curly maple/cherry dresser and Lingerie chest. I plan on coming up in two weeks. If you stop by before that could you check out the figue. I plan to call them before I leave.

I'll be down there Thursday or Friday (I'm almost certain, anyway) and I will check out the quantity and figure.

RE: Curly Maple Source? - AHill - 08-02-2022 Does it have to be solid wood? There are plenty of places who sell primo curly maple veneer.

Yes, I'm looking for solid wood. I'm not a great fan of veners. Plus I need draw fronts and I don't want to use banding. I think I have enough places to check out. Thanks all. Mike |
