Fort Worth / Dallas LJs - place to buy lumber open on the weekends?

Hey Mike, I moved to Dallas a year ago, and got the shop up and running this fall. I’ve not found a good source yet. I have purchased some wood from world of wood, but the prices are more than I’m am used to and selection was limited, but they are open Saturday mornings. I’ve been told of a place in McKinney but you need to call ahead. Have not had a chance to connect with them yet. If you come across a good source please post it.

I am pretty sure that Woodworld in Richardson has Saturday hours, at least they did before COVID anyway. The BB is still pricey but not as bad as Woodcraft and Rockler. I think that they only carry the 5×5 sheets and maybe half sheets of BB.

When I cannot get BB I usually checkout the radiata pine PW at Home Depot or Lowes. It’s the next best thing.

I haven’t checked them out yet but here’s another that has Saturday hours on 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month. This is the 4th Saturday but maybe since the first one would have been a long holiday weekend, they shifted it a week? Worth a call anyway.

Appreciate it guys.

I’ve used the HD ply on occasion, but I really prefer the BB and often like the UV prefinished BB. I’ll try and sort out time to get by FW Plywood next week if I can I guess.

Typical, I get out of the shared two car with the wife and into a 2 1/2 spot all by myself and got no wood.

As Lazyman posted, Hardwood Lumber Co. It’s off I35E and Northwest highway in West Dallas. I’ve been utilizing them for about 25 years. Call to confirm hours because the 1st & 3rd Saturday hours are not carved in stone. Check out the lumber along the west wall that’s stacked vertically as well. Great service if you don’t mind a little sawdust. Wood World is off 635 and 75 but that’s a drive for you. It’s about twice as expensive ad HLC but easier to navigate around the wood selection.

Thanks for the input. I’ll have to get over and check these places out. I was sort of spoiled in Houston as living on the NW side, I had easy access to two pretty good hardwood places and two commercially focused cabinet supply places within 5-10 miles.

Wood World in Richardson is open 7 days. I’m not sure of the hours. In Dallas there is Hardwood Lumber Co. and Central Hardwoods. The last two are very close to each other. I know for a fact HLC sells lumber which is rough. WW sells 3S3.
