Local (Denver) Sources for hardwood and sheet goods

[Steve Kelsey]

Does anyone have recommendations for hardwood and sheet good suppliers in the Denver metro area? I'm looking for oak, oak veneer ply and cabinet grade ply mainly to start with.

Thanks in advance!

I picked up some nice quartersawn white oak at Sears Trostel in Fort Collins at Christmas time. I know it is a drive, but they were going to be moving soon and one of the workers there told me there would be a sale. Might be worth a call. Good luck.

Steve,
The main sources for hardwood and sheet goods are Austin Hardwoods and Paxton. Both have a pretty good selection, are easy to deal with, but neither are exactly discount operations. Good luck with the search.

Thanks for the advice, guys. Much appreciated.

Steve....

No sheet goods, but try TC Hardwoods in Lafayette (9776 Arapahoe, east of Boulder). Pretty good assortment, including matching flitches. They're a small sawmill operation that sells their own wood. http://www.tcwoods.com/index.html

I've heard tell of a place out near Golden or western Lakewood. Anybody know anything about a place out there?

I've seen their building - the Golden Hardwood Emporium. Never been inside, though...

If you are near Denver, you should think about joining the Colorado Woodworkers Guild. One benefit is 10% off at Austin, Paxton, Woodcraft, Rockler ...

Next monthly meeting is Feb. 15th, Rockler basement 6:00 PM

Sears Trosel in Ft Collins has both sheet goods and hardwood.

Collectors Specialty Woods for hardwood and unique pieces.

Mark.... Yeah - someday I'm going to stop at CSW on one of my trips to Albuquerque. But they aren't exactly close to Denver unless you consider a 4+ hour roundtrip short. :)

Dan.... Thanks. Punching them into MapQuest shows them just east of I-70, which explains why you've seen them. I must have driven by on that part of I-70 five hundred times in 20 years. Can't believe it never caught my eye.

Just to keep it as an information source in this thread:
The Golden Hardwood Emporium

Red Rocks Community College has a good resource page in their FWW section.

Joe, Collectors does deliveries here to the Denver metro area. If you not in a hurry they can combine it another customers order. That gives you 2 options, one you can meet the driver at one of his stops, or for some extra $ they will deliver to you. I meet the driver at one of his stops in Boulder, and picked up with no problem. Ask for Eric is good about working with you.

Consolidated Hardwoods in Broomfield has some of the best sheet goods available in the area.
