I want to buy 100 bf of walnut to make a headboard and night stand for my daughter. Unfortunately, my usual local supplier can't meet my needs so I'm going to have to order it over the Web.
I ordered some soft maple in April from Niagra and while the quality of the wood was okay, it was not overwhelming. They did ship the wood quickly, however, although it was a bit shy of the bf quantity they listed. Dave Avery started a thread earlier this year describing his very positive experience with West Penn Hardwoods. Several Creekers jumped on the bandwagon with similar supportive comments.
Has anyone out there dealt with both of these suppliers so you could offer a comparison? If not, I'd be very interested in hearing opinions on either of these firms or other mail order suppliers you may have used.
As always, thanks in advance for your help and sage wisdom.
