[Alberg30] Lizzard

[Alan P. Kefauver]

Are you sure? Teak everywhere I have looked is between $19-$21 a board foot (locally and Internet). Do they have varying widths and thickness? At $9.50/bdft, I'll be driving to Annapolis today. Do you have their phone number? Information for Annapolis has no listing.
Thanks
Alan
