Have you tried Anderson McQuaid in Cambridge?

http://www.andersonmcquaid.com/

They have a huge selection of wood, I'd be surprised if they didn't carry it. Further north you could try Highland Hardwoods in Brentwood NH.

http://www.highlandhardwoods.com/

They are another lumberyard with an exceptional array of wood available.

I won't even bother to waste time with other yards when I'm looking for something special.

Found a new source for AYC in NJ and they are willing to ship. The price is $.70 per foot (1 5/8" sq) before shipping and about $.95 with shipping. Tell you how the wood looks after I get it.

ayc

better off finding one of the large lumber companys to order a shipment in from canada.. and sell it off amongst the different builders . but the problem with this is you have to buy a set amount .. like a truckload.. or half a truckload..


i'll stick with the ballusters i have come across.. nice and clear with tight grain.. but i am going to look for poplar and maple..

thanks again

Crash, do yourself a favor and stay away from using poplar for plugs if you can help it. I don't think it's worth the effort.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
