Building Maple stand need inexpensive wood supplier

Akg_ca

just scoped out Mapleshade.  Their prices are the reason I want to do it myself. Absolutely beautiful work. I hope I can get near their craftsmanship.

Geoffkait,

With a nod to your missives re spring loaded mass, I was thinking of hanging the maple shelves on springs below the level of the outer metal frame , rather than placing them on top of the frames with sorbothane bumpers. Your thoughts please.

>>>>>>Sounds like an excellent idea. I am not a big fan of Sorbothane, anyway. 

Go into the forest and cut down some trees thats pretty cheap.

Now that’s getting back to basics!

Mitch2, what’s the name and location of your wood supplier in Michigan.  Always good to know sources in the neighborhood!
