Where can i buy rustic cherry lumber?
Danny Lee Asked: Where can i buy rustic cherry lumber?
I have no knowledge of woodworking or d.I.y. wood projects but I want to make a magnetic knife rack and while researching it I found out that I need cherry hardwood or lumber. I would prefer rustic cherry because i figure it would look nicer than a plain block of wood would look. Do they sell this kind of wood at lowes or home depot?Can I just buy a 24" long slab of it at the hardware store or do they make you buy a whole long piece of wood?

I'm not sure what you mean by "rustic cherry" (vs. "cherry"), but most home stores have a limited selection of hardwoods.If by "slab" you mean 1" finished stock (3/4" actual), then they might have a few pieces.For anything exotic, long, thick or in quantity you'll have to go somewhere that specializes in hardwoods (usually a local lumberyard or sawmill).For a smallish, single piece (where shipping charges won't be excessive) you might even look online (woodworkerssource.com for example).

=== look in your area for a specialty lumber and hardware store== you might be able to find mahogany or oak that can be stained to cherry=== you might also look in the Lowe's etc. for a shelf wood that you can use that is already stained aand you add the magnetics

they sell wood (including salvaged antique wood) to DIY people for various projects. You could also do better at a lumber yard than at a Home Depot (not sure about Lowe's). Their wood types are limited and usually the sizes and quality are too.
