Lumber Mill

[Joe D'Attilio]

Anyone familiar with any good lumber yards/mills in the Philadelphia/Bucks COutny area of Pennsy?

I'm currently looking for a good place to check out and pick up a few bf of domestic woods for a mini work bench that I'm going to set up as a honing/sharpening bench for my first "neander" project.

Groff and Groff Lumber, near Quarreyville, PA (about a dozen miles south of Lancaster). Great people to deal with, although my orders are via telephone.

Try Willard Brothers Lumber just outside of Trenton, NJ (Rt 1 and 95/295 cross). I use them all of the time.
