Capital City Lumber

PS
no smoking @ his place, k?

I am in the process right now of building a kitchen table.

Here's two places though. Capitol is closer, but more expensive. Lowe's & Home Depot have a small selection of S4S Red Oak as well, but are more expensive.

There also is American Hardwoods up Hillsborough St., but they don't have a website to view selections.

Fuck capitol city lumber. They charge out the ass. The guys there are pretty nice, but seriously, why should we pay 30-50% more because they are too cheap to move into a modern facility.

Best local place by far. Plus they give either 10 or 15% off for students with ID, at least they did before we opened a commercial account with them.

Raleigh Hardwood on Poole Rd.

1/21/2007 10:03:02 AM

I guess i need to find a charlotte forum... cause even though its posted 3 above... people still think i'm in raleigh

1/21/2007 10:29:29 AM

^DUDE, did you even go to the website? They have 11 Locations, one of which is in Charlotte



^^Raleigh hardwood got bought out by Wurth, it's called the hardwood group now. Same place, same people, different name

1/21/2007 11:40:33 AM

Make sure the hardwood you get is sustainably harvested.

1/21/2007 1:35:33 PM

Which is pretty much any hardwood you get in the US.

1/21/2007 2:16:01 PM

well I have some cedar logs at my house (in Roxboro) if you want to buy them for $50 - I think we have 8 or so that are 8 ft long, and cedar makes pretty furniture

Speaking of which, does anyone know if any of these place (or others) have table legs?

1/23/2007 11:41:04 PM

Becuase it would make sense pre cut table legs when the furniture market is continously changing and their patrons (the places listed are not home depot) are more geared towards those producing custom items.

1/24/2007 12:04:40 AM

Well it was an idea. I just wanted to see what was available. I decided to just go with basic legs though.

And Raleigh Hardwood sucks. I looked there & their selection sucked. They had hardly any red oak.
