Does anyone have any recommendations on where to get a small quantity of rough cut or surfaced hardwood lumber for a good price?
I'm looking for maybe 50 bd ft of 8/4 walnut.

I don't know about price, but the Woodsmith Store in Clive should have what you want.

People here have previously recommended Liberty Hardwoods in Ankeny.

I got some good walnut from Tim Hutcheson out in Marshalltown (Hutcheson Lumber & Millwork). He's a one-man sawyer/kiln operator. You'd want to call first to see what he has on hand. I was buying 4/4, but I found his prices on that to be worth the drive outside of the metro.

There's also this fellow that's bringing in lumber and selling it out of a storage facility on the south side. I've not dealt with him, myself, though:
Looks like his price on 8/4 walnut is $10.49/bdft. Which is about the price Woodsmith was charging for their 4/4 last time I went in there.
Hope that helps.

Oh. Also, I know Woodsmith and Rick Hutcheson will give you a discount if you're a member of the DSM woodworkers club: http://www.dmwoodworkers.org/
I believe they're both 10% off.

The Woodsmith Store is obscenely expensive compared to Liberty Hardwoods. I bought several hundred board feet of 6/4 maple at Liberty for around $2.50 / bd ft a year ago, vs over $6 / bd ft at the WSS.

Des Moines Hardwoods is the best I've found. It's a guy that sells out of his garage basically intending to undercut the big stores (woodsmith store). Great prices.

Does Liberty sell to hobbyists only looking for a few board feet? Ive known about them for a while, but their website basically tells hobbyists to stay away. So I did, ha ha.

Walnut also shows up on Craigslist pretty regularly, and prices are almost always lower than WSS. In part because I think WSS is all S4S, right?

Most of the WSS wood is rough.
Walnut shows up really cheap in Iowa because we have more black walnut than any other state.
