I am looking for some wood for a table top in which I can either stain or paint. It has to be 9ft long by 28 inch wide. Any suggestions of what kind of wood this should be or where to buy? It is going to be a desk in a home office.
this will need to be a nicely prepped slab. or a composite with veneer.
Solid wood, even glued-up, will be pricey, and don is right. I would venture into Capital City Lumber for starters.
I would think Oak, Cherry, or Maple would be good for a desk/table top. Hard hardwood.
Klingsplor's Woodworking Shop in Raleigh might be a good source. They are the only place I've found for certain veneers and specialty woods. Call them or stop by since the web site doesn't show every thing. They are very helpful and really listen to determine the best solution for your needs.
Check out WoodQuarters. We've bought several unfinished solid wood items from them over the years and have always been pleased. Not too expensive and great quality.
