Here's another guy looking for wood near Seattle.
((( I too am always on the lookout for hardwoods. Here are my thoughts. Edensaw in Tacoma is veneers only, no dimensional lumber (at least that was what I was told). Edensaw in Pt Townsend is a candy store for the woodworker. If you have a business lic, register with them and get a nice discount and tax free if for resale. The other stores usually buy from Edensaw, at least I know the Sumner Woodworkers Store does, so you’ll beat their prices by going to Pt Townsend. Now, if you want turning stock (and some dimensional) look at theboardhoarder.com in Kirkland (not far from Totem Lake area). Steve has a very nice selection and you can’t beat his prices. He works out of his garage. You won’t be disappointed. I was looking for some 14” maple burl peppermill blanks online and found several at Steve’s for a fraction of the price online. Trust me, worth the trip. Give him a call.)

The trouble I have run into is finding the wood for the project.
