Cabinet maker here. Dakota is where we get our supplies...
if you're willing to drive, i know my boss found a mill in fayetteville that has hardwood ply for very good prices. I can get the name if it'd be of interest.
Pardon the diversion.
Anyone got recommendations for a furniture maker that would cater to some custom demands?
I need something similar to these I lifted from the web. But no veneer. Dovetail joints, display drawers, possibly even a roll-top or pocket-door application for privacy when desired.
I see websites that cater to entire gunrooms but hadn’t tried any of those and would much prefer local.

I saw Dakota in my search. Wanted to get the resident cabinetmakers' opinions. Is it your go-to without exception?
Yes, and I doubt you'd find better prices either.
I do a fair bit of woodworking, and Dakota is my go-to for hardwood lumber. Haven’t gotten any plywood from them, but I stick with real 5’ x 5’ Baltic birch plywood from M&M Lumber for that purpose. Very pricey, but worth it compared to the usual cabinet-grade plywood that’s available. Especially if the boxes of drawers will be exposed when open.
I haven't found Baltic Birch plywood since the Ukraine war started. I checked Phoenix hardwoods in OKC and my local Enid lumberyards with no luck. Tulsa is a bit far but next time I need some, I'll check some of the yards you guys mentioned.
