Hey folks,
I was hoping one of you guys had a small mill you knew of that a guy could buy some ruff cut hardwood lumber from for transport back here to Alaska. A friend here locally is driving from here to the west coast (Seattle I think) then out to Peoria, Ill. Then back to Seattle and back to Anchorage. He has offered to haul some lumber for me if I could find some not to far off his path. I have purchased lumber from a guy on the south eastern side of Illinois before but was hoping to find some closer to Peoria. I’m looking for fancier wood with curl, bird’s eye, flame, spalting or the like. I’m also more interested in wood that can be planed down to closer to 4/4 than the typical ¾. Any ideas?
Thanks!
