Where to find QSO in NE Ohio?

[Daniel Rode]

As a follow up to my earlier question, I'm also looking for a supplier for the QSO I need to build a couple end tables. The local Woodcraft carries some QSO, but it's on the expensive side and the selection is limited. Price is important to me but selection is even more important.

I'm in NE Ohio and I can pickup anything I'd need within a hour or two of home. Any local woodworker who can suggest a supplier that will do small deals?

You are looking for Quarter Sawn White Oak, correct?

[Daniel Rode]

Yes, I should have been clearer. Quarter sawn white oak.

Thanks Dave! I've never been to Keim Lumber or Charm, Ohio. I sent them a message asking about their oak stock. If a long drive but might be worth the trip.

Hartville Hardware has some in their lumber area.

Check out the Akron/Canton Craig's list under materials also.
I've been looking for some Cherry locally and have seen a few listings for read and white oak.

Baird Brothers in Youngstown and Terry Lumber in Peninsula both sell S4S QSWO.
Yes - you'll pay more per board ft for S4S - but - (@ least at Terry Lumber - I can't speak for Barid) there's little to no waste.
Terry Lumber will allow you to go through what they have and pick out what matches up best in appearance and in size.

If you go, save $$$$ for the tool department.

Thanks Rich. Terry Lumber is really close to me and I won't buy lumber if I can pick and choose the pieces. I'm not sure why I never remember them.

I'll buy S2S and even S4S lumber if It's all I can find and if it fits the project. The positive is lower waste and the ease in selecting and matching boards. The down side is trying to flatten and square boards that have already been planed. The result is more expensive and thinner stock but maybe better matched stock as well. Getting a finished 7/8" from S4S is a challenge, tho.

I'll put them on my list.

I'm not going near the tool department. I'll end up broke!

Yoder Lumber in Millersburg, not far from Keim in Charm. Yoder always has excellent stock. Much of their stock is skip planned and around 15/16" thick.
