Do you like really big lumber?
« on: November 10, 2016, 02:41:54 am »
if you do, might you also have an idea of where I could find .5" cherry boards in widths of 16" or greater? aside from cutting it down myself, I live in collage station TX.
I like free stuff.

Find a local sawmill.

I think that's a tall order. err (wide) :(
Big lumber has always been pricey but these days it's
almost extinct. Good luck with your quest.

you could try Condons Lumber in White Plains, NY.  They may have boards that wide - As hard as finding boards that wide may be, I think you may have a harder time finding it in half inch thickness - unless you pay for re-sawing or planing. Good Luck.
