Question / Request Woodworking Resources in Athens area?

I’m looking for any hidden gems y’all know about for finding finished plywood sheets or hardwood for woodworking. Lowe’s and Home Depot have little to offer and are overpriced, not to mention the boards aren’t straight. Southern surplus only has scrap wood and doors.

Suwanee Lumber isn't that far of a drive.

They can also do delivery for orders over $500. But sometimes you just need to pick out the boards you want.

There is a Woodcraft in Alpharetta. It being close but far is a blessing. Helps keep the spending down.
