Hi all!
I thought I 'd share with the fellow SMC'rs a great source of lumber near Hagerstown MD. Its the Hicksville Planing Mill:
14464 Hicksville Road
Clear Spring, MD 21722-1240
(301) 842-3474 (but don't expect an answer)
0700-1700 MTuWF, 0700-1200 Sa
It's a great place to find excellent quality hardwoods (basically all varieties) plus some of the harder to find wood like purple heart and bubinga etc. The prices are outstanding. My last load of cherry was around $3.50 b/f. Curly maple runs around $3.50 to 3.75 b/f. Walnut goes for around $4.00 b/f.
It's all family owned and operated and the owners are great to work with. All they ask is no cursing (they are Menonites) and restack it the way you found it.
