    Does anyone know when the Woodery may open again? They have been temporarily closed for over two weeks due to a medical emergency.

    The reason I am asking is they have a special on sapele for $2 bf that I am keen on taking advantage of.

    I fear that COVID-19 may have struck.

    Sadly the Woodery website is now defunct and so is my opportunity to get their discounted weathered mahogany.

    however their is a new hardwood supplier in East Taunton, Reader Hardwood. Does anyone know if if this is an offshoot of Downes and Reader now that the Stoughton location is owned by Rugby?

    Thanks for the tip Mike - I just called Reader's Hardwood Supply and spoke to the owner who is the son of the founder of the old Downes & Reader. They just opened in April in Taunton and have basically reproduced the hardwood and plywood old store.

    Time for a field trip in the next few days and I'll report back.

    Ken,

    Looking forward to your report. My go to hardwood supplier has been Highland Hardwoods but Taunton is a lot closer than Brentwood NH
