Wood Gold Mine--again

In the past I have posted about this company 9 miles from me that saws the logs and dries hardwoods and is located partly in the country, and that their show room sells clear wood at .50 cents a pound. I went over yesterday and bought some Basswood and some green color Popular. I ask if I could take a picture of their showroom to post on this board and they said wait until march when they would be moving into an other building, so I will post one then. I asked if they ship their wood and how. They ship common carier. The woods, not in the show room come in different grades where as the showroom wood is clear. They advertise, BUY A BOARD, BUY A TRUCKLOAD, SPECIALIZING IN QUATERED AND RIFT-SAWED LUMBER. OVER 100,000 BOARD FEET OF LUMBER SURFACED AND READY FOR YOU. NOT ENOUGH? WE HAVE 4 MILLION BOARD FEET IN OUR WAREHOUSE.
But here is a list of the woods they have.

ASH
BASSWOOD
CHERRY
HARD MAPLE
SOFT MAPLE
HICKORY
RED OAK
RUSTIC RED OAK
S. MAPLE
SYCMORE
WALNUT
WHITE OAK
YELLOW BIRCH

Also when abailable---

HONEY LOCUS
SASSAFRAS
COFFEEBEAR
BUTTERNUT
ELM

Also, prime import quality--I would guess they import the logs and cut.

BUBINGA
COCOBOLA
MAHOGANY
LACEWOOD
PADOUK
PURPLEHEART
SHEDUA
WENGE
ZEBRAWOOD

There prices are listed as OUTLET, OVER 100, OVER 500, OVER 1000, OVER 1500.
