   Try Hearne Hardwoods in Oxford.  They have loads of Cherry as well as others, including exotics.   1-888-814-0007

   Another option is Groff and Groff in Quarryville.  1-800-342-0001

   Good Luck.

   Thanks.  I live near Hershey.  Am familiar with Groff.  They are a tad bit expensive.  I have bought directly from several sawmills north of here.  I need some leads for Nevada and New Jersey.  Know anyone in Jersey?

   Thanks,

   Alan

   I do not. 

   I live in Maryland and within 25 minutes of both of these places.  Their proces aren't the cheapest, but they will sell any quantity- big or small.  As long as they are in business so close to my home, I will never buy loads of wood in bulk.  It's too easy to run up there when I need something.  I believe they ship UPS.

   Good luck!

   Alan in Doylestown P A., me and some wood working friends bought cherry and red oak

    Can't remember the name, but the price was right. Perhaps you can google up Doylestown and check for lumber merchants  As I recall, it was a big operation and you were free to pick and choose

   I attended the woodworking show in Ft. Washington a couple of months ago, picked up some cocobolo and bubinga from a vendor called "U S Mahoghany" out of North Jersey. Sorry but I can't find the reciept anywhere. New Jersey Information should be able to pull the number for you. (I think they said they were in Aberdeen N.J.)  Great idea about using geographically significant timbers. Just finished a Black Walnut and White Oak craddle for our first grandchild. A most gratifying project. Good luck in your wood aquisition and Blessings for the little one.                                                             Regards,         Gene

   Gene,

   Thanks for the New Jersey lead.  That's enough to get me started.

   And, thanks for the blessings,
