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?

There's also a small business called tree2table in Chilliwack. The guy has a buttload of sweet hardwood he has milled solely from salvaged logs. Highly recommend checking out his wood supply, if you get more into wood working.
