Thread title. I've been starting up this as a hobby, but am now interested in making things out of nicer wood than the fir you can find in Home Depot. Google will return big box stores, but personal recommendations are better. Where do you guys source your lumber for small projects?

PJ White is my favourite - near Lee Valley on SW Marine. I haven't purchased anything since they changed ownership.

I also have a phone number of a tree feller who processes some of his cuts, but I haven't called him. If there are a couple people interested he might be willing to sell.
