[bite this byte, bug!]

Fine woods, or even slightly unusual woods, are hard to find.  Fred
Meyer doesn't know of anything more esoteric than cedar.  Is there
a place in the Portland, OR area where I can buy unusual hardwoods
like rosewood or walnut?  Are there reasonable sources of common
hardwoods like oak, cherry and maple?

For instance, back in Virginia we had Arlington Woodworkers who 
wood sell you boxwood or tulipwood at (yikes!) about $30 a board
foot, while Hechinger's (a hardware chain) sold finished oak and
cherry for under $4.00/bf

Please reply by mail.  I'll repost if anything interesting arrives...
