I am looking for wide 4/4 cherry boards (6 inch plus) and was wondering who in the LA area had the best price. The couple of yards I have been to told me over the phone a decent price on cherry but it turns out it is usually 4 to 7 inch wide boards located in a pile that is usually picked over like 10 day old roadkill. My favorite, Reel Lumber, does not have wide boards of cherry.
I am located in the central valley and usually debate whether to just do mail order and have no control over picking the boards to actually taking the most of a Saturday to drive down to LA and pick my own boards.
Thanks, Tom

Thanks Eef - do you know how much they sell per board foot for Cherry of that size?
tom,
4/4 cherry, is sold at random widths for 5.08/bf. if the board is 9" wide or better, the price is upped .25/bf.
the folks at bohnhoff went through a terrible tragedy recently. one may read about it online. inspite of all this, they are up and running. very good people to work with.
