A few thoughts on my visit to the downtown Syracuse location of lakeshore hardwoods; neat store, for a lumber dealer. Easy to get to, and compared with the mill up in Pulaski, very convenient. I hear about 'how nice it is to have all the domestic hardwoods' available. I could have picked up a 'ton' of maple, birch, and of course cherry. There was some ribbon cherry that was absolutely gorgeous, as well as a bunch of maple that when I start building new kitchen cabinets, I'm going to pick a bunch of it up for the face frames and doors. One hunk of ambrosia maple was actually pretty reasonably priced, but I was looking for accent pieces for some more cutting boards.
