Aside from going to the obvious big box stores or checking the yellow pages.........
Try Hosking Hardwood Flooring.

*I second this recomendation. Great service. Great prices.
*Sorry, I meant my recomendation to go under the Hosking Hardwood site suggestion.
* i cut out all the middle guys. first i buy a load of green rough sawn from a local forester, trailer it to a local kiln, pick it up about 2 weeks later, then take it to a friend with a mill. we discuss the best widths to achieve maximum yield. Then i store it inside until my stock starts to diminish... but ya gotta build a lotta floors... i clear it at the job so wane or knots or blemishes end up where they are hidden or under cabinets or built-ins. It sounds like a pain in the #$% but the savings are worth it. i do this about 3 times a year. it keeps me in the loop with all the right people and i have come across some killer deals because of it. i end up with premium product at tavern grade costs.
*Husky flooring, lots of exotics, bamboo, bvrazilian cherry, many widths and thicknesses. I know they're in Wilmingtin DE. I don't have their number handy. Very reasonbly priced.
