Wood Notes

Oaks & Poplars are species that tend to grow in lots & thus are the cheaper woods at the mill as they are plentiful. Soft Maple is fairly expensive & full of knots here & usually only 4/4 is available, although wide boards are easy to come by. Thomas' buys all the Hard Maple they sell, but it is clear - & dear, about $5.50/ brd ft for 8/4 stock. ................
