Long Island, NY Wood Sources

Messages

I’m relatively new to this board.

I live in Hicksville, NY which is part of Nassau County on Long Island.

At the beginning of September I got a JET JWL-1220VS Lathe.

I’ve been able to get 2x2’s of poplar, pine, and fir at Loews.

I searched the internet and found several sites which sell turning blanks of domestic wood (Woodturners Catalog, Rockler, Got Wood, etc.) I ordered some blanks of Ash, Maple, Oak, and Walnut at reasonable prices.

However, I’d like to find a source near me where I can pick and choose on site.

Do any fellow Longislanders know of such a source?
 
Paging Mr. Levine....

Joseph, Allen just got into turning as well, but I think he has a few contacts for wood in your area...I would think they maybe have some cutoffs or turning stock. Good luck and please show us some of your work when you get a chance. :thumb:
 
Joe (may I call you Joe?)...

welcome to the Family, and while I'm not aware of any particular sources on the Eyesland (I'm from Upstate) I can add another online source, check out www.lakeshorehardwoods.com Brian is the proprietor there and he's a great guy to deal with, plus he ships. No affiliation, other than he empties out my wallet from time to time and I get a pile of high quality hardwood in return.
 
Jeff - I'm already in contact with Allen.
Just thought I'd try to get more info.

Ned - Thank you!
I'll see what Lakeshore has to offer.
BTW - I'm just a guy named Joe.
