I need maybe 4 or 5 boards of KD yellow pine, preferably 5/4, minimum 6" wide x 7' long. Anyone know a source? I used to be able to buy the stuff most anywhere. Now I can't find it anywhere local, so it's time to cast a wider net. Thanks.

Fortunately, I was able to show my customer that I can produce the color he wants with white ash, which I have in stock, and he likes the grain it has, so I won't need to order any pine. It also means I can exchange the Douglas fir I first bought for this project. At $11/BF, thanks to a government tariff on Canadian wood, I'm really happy to return it for Sapele, a true bargain at $5.50/BF, and superior in every way that matters to me. John

Today you may be able to buy at Frank Paxton's Midwest locations, however maybe tomorrow you won't. They have vacillated back and forth between Pro/Account only, and anyone can buy. We have a location here in Cincinnati, and they are usually the last place I would consider looking. Too high price, so so quality, and personnel who you may choose never to deal with again 
Worst thing they can do is cook ya and eat ya

Too high price, so so quality, and personnel who you may choose never to deal with again Thanks Steve. Mail order is my option of last resort. We have a local millwork shop (Custom Millwork Supply, N. Tonawanda, NY) that also sells wood to the public and they have met most of my needs for wood I don't mill myself. There are a few other options locally, but this place is pretty convenient and has very good selection, quality, and prices. That said, I would not hesitate to buy from Steve Wall if there were no local alternative. Their prices looked pretty good and their website is set up to easily estimate shipping costs. John |
