need a piece of maple, ten feet long, surfaced (at least) one side,
3/4 thick or just over, roughly. prefer local area/will pick up. width
can be 'any width 3.5 inches across or over'. minor
nailholes/splalting/warping along the length or similar 'minor
defects' perfectly acceptable...prefer to NOT have to 'end join'
pieces that're shorter to end up with this (though wouldn't mind
edge-gluing narrower pieces the full length to achieve the final
width, eg: couple of long pieces old maple flooring?)...when finished
this will be hanging on wall upstairs hallway with 20 shaker pegs in
it...
home depot and lowes aren't offering pieces of maple these dimensions,
and, if they did, I'd "not so much enjoy" paying the sky-hi bux$
they'd want...
thanks for ideas :-) and replies :-)

Bill- I've used Bristol Valley Hardwoods for small amounts such as yours.
Quite reasonable. I don't have the URL handy but a Google search should
bring them right up.
