We now have approximately 34 board feet of 8/4 and 19 board feet of 4/4.

They also had some 16/4 that looked like it would be fun to use in building a table or desk! That will have to wait until I finish this project! ;)

It took some time for me to find a lumber yard that carried the 8/4. I finally found Youngblood Lumber Company and they carry most domestic and imported woods in small to very large dimensions.

I ordered a surface planer and will begin dimensioning the rough cut maple in a few weeks. I picked up a new band saw today and will use that to rip the maple down. I did not want to fight my little table saw with all of the 8/4. I tested the band saw and it cuts through that maple like butter!
