Those of you living in Milwaukee or Northern Illinois may want to checkout Green Man Lumber

I just bought some awesome 5/4 walnut that was 16" wide :D:D:D for $4.50 a board foot! (He had wider boards ~20" but they would not fit in my planner :mad:)

Even more impressive... they have several 2" x 24" wide x 8ft slabs of walnut !!!!

Dan is the owner and a real nice guy!

PS they also had some really nice maple (both bird's eye and curly) for $4.90 a b/f

Outstanding! 'Wish I was close and able to take advantage of that! Would be perfect for a dining table on my "list"...

Thats funny...I don't see any wood.

Sounds a lot like the service that they offer at Horigran. I might have to check them out, I need to get some maple to finish off my workebench...

I am jealous of your walnut find. Sounds like you got a good deal.

The site isnt much to speak of. Looks like a good start, but still mostly empty.

Sorry .... I know their website is lacking:rolleyes::rolleyes:

I posted the link for people to get their phone number...

Plus the owner told me they are working on the website.
