Finding a good source of domestic hardwood (QSWO, cherry, the usual stuff)
for furniture-making has proven more difficult in the LA area than I'd expected.
I've had pretty good luck with Hudson and West in Torrance and modest luck with
Cherokee Lumber in Upland. H&W sells only S2S1E stuff; Cherokee sells rough
as well, but I've found them somewhat difficult to deal with.
Would love to hear recommendations/opinions about others!
