I've also had good luck with Roberts Plywood on Long Island. They sell hardwoods and plywood and will deliver.

In addition to Boards and Beams, these NYC craigslist listings offer cherry and/or maple.

Will, This saw is overpriced. You can get a new Powermatic 54A for around $1000.00. Amazon has one listed here...
Phil,
Try http://www.woodfinder.com/ to find lumber in Nashville.
Or try this: http://www.yellowpages.com/37201~Nashville-TN/Lumber
Good luck with your search.

Jay,
I've found that Woodplanet.com is a good place to search for local vendors. Several NJ vendors currently have offers to sell (OTS) to woodworkers. I see that Timber Brook in Oxford, NJ is...
Paul,
I used splines on the one I built for my daughter. The picture shows how it goes together.

Matt,
I had a similar problem with the M12V2 in my router table, except I experienced it when I first installed it. I took the springs out and that solved the problem. I hope this helps.

Cut off the sap wood if you have enough material to make your top. You will save yourself the trouble of having to color match the sap and heart woods. Yes, you can match the color with stain. ...
I'm almost embarrassed to mention this, but I sliced my thumb with a utility knife while chamfering the end of a tenon. Needed two stitches to close the wound. I remember thinking just before it...
Jack,
It sounds like your plan will work fine. You might consider using biscuits or a spline to help with alignment. Good luck with the project.
My favorite piece is this cherry hope chest I made for my daughter's wedding. The finish is shellac and wax.
Micah,
Wonderful job on the table. Please let us know what wood you used. I'm guessing Sapele or Mahogany. In any case, it looks great.
Ross,
If you glue your a solid wood panel into a frame as you describe, eventually either the frame or the panel will fail. To avoid this, build your frame so the panel can float. The photo is...
Rich,
Check out this book. I think it will answer all your questions and give you a greater understanding about how wood "works". "Understanding Wood: A Craftsman's Guide to Wood Technology" by...
Matt,
I used curly maple for some interior draw fronts in this sapele lingerie chest I made for my wife. The idea was that when you opened the doors, you got a big surprise. She liked it. The...
Not in any particular order, the tools that have met or exceeded my expectations.

On another thread about Tablesaws, Douglas Robinson, mentioned that he received great service from Incra when he needed a replacement screw. He needed one screw and they sent him bunch. Well as...
Hans,
Your table made me smile too. I like the way you handled your earlier problem with the top. It is gorgeous. But what really caught my eye was the curve of the legs and aprons. Very...
Well done. I like the contrasting woods. As to the miscut tails, I can't seem to find them. I suspect you are the only one who sees them.
Tom
No, I took them off shortly after I bought the saw, a Powermatic 54A. I use homemade zero clearance inserts with hardwood splitters. I've made several different ZCI's with splitters of differing...
I have the G0513X and could not be happier. My band saw came without the table leveling pin. I called customer service and they sent one to me immediately. This is my first and only Grizzly tool...
Kevin, you have one great wife! And a great saw too.
Tom
Dan, those tables are gorgeous (all three). It's hard to believe someone would cover a mahogany bar with laminate. The the old saying "you can't judge a book by its cover" really was true in this...
I vote for side B. It has a more consistent pattern.
