I want to make a project out of walnut and my only local non-big-box lumber supply doesn't carry anything, it's all special order. I noticed a few sites like Rockler sell wood so I'm wondering where you go when your local supplier is either too expensive or doesn't have what you need. I can only imagine how awful shipping costs must be, but for special projects it'd be good to have a reliable online supplier that isn't going to send me junk.
