[Alberg30] Lizzard

[Mike Lehman]

Alan,

The name of the place is Exotic Lumber (410) 267-0887 about a block from
West Street in Annapolis behind the gym. I just called him and I have a bit
of a correction to make - he has rough milled, in almost any size you want
at $13/bd. ft and finished milled pieces at $16/bd. ft.. He has what he
calls the "boater's corner" with a huge variety of sizes. He also sells
about 100 different kinds of some VERY exotic lumber from all over the
world. I must have gotten a special deal on the piece I bought.

> 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.
