i'm going out on a limb here but
home depot?
- MrD0
i called home depot but they dont do what i want them to do...
need a small wood shop that can take measurements and cut it out
also home depot's woods are mainly for building materials so most of them are bent and not kept well
they also dont do smaller cuts. i would have to buy a big sheet and discard the rest

Try a custom cabinet shop or a finish carpenter.
Won't be cheap though..
- MrD0
i did call, and yes they are REALLY expansive
and they dont do what i tell them to do
they wanna give me the whole service which I dont want..
- TheBlueOne0
Um..what are you trying to do exactly?

Could you place an ad for a sculptor, artist, or private craftsperson?

look for a handyman service, most of them will have portable tablesaws and stuff. usually it's pay by the hour, and they come to you.

i am making a credenza
i can assemble it, veneer / lacquer etc
but i need someone to cut to specific size..i asked my apartment handyman but he wont do it
i also called handy man but in order for someone to come in and work in my apartment, i would need to get a permit

hah
thx lvl but i dont have tools.....
and blaw, dude thats in NC. wait do they ship? i wonder how much shipping would be
- blaw0
i buy lumber from them when i can't find what i need locally.
they ship ups and there's a price chart on the site.
all-in-all, i've had good luck with them at a fair price.
