try searching for a local sawmill and searching your local craigslist for lumber.

sometimes oak fencing boards are available if you have horse farms in your area.

I am fortunate to get my wood locally. The place I get my wood ships and sells on EBAY. They have excellent prices. Check them out to see if they have something you need. http://thewoodyard.com

How do you want to buy your wood, We had a Ice storm in Arkansaw in Jan 2009, I have lots of wood for sale - straght run type $1.00 TO $2.00 per BF -CUT WITH A BAND SAW MILL. rent a pick-up, I bet I can fill that that thing full - Walnut- Pine - Oak -Cedar-elm and a few others. The best wood may cost more.With your help I can plane them. I work MIN Wage. PM me for my e-mail address.

How much to you have? And I wonder how far you are from me (middle of kansas). I can come with my truck and trailer :). I'm a wood hoarder. I have to arrange my shop around lumber storage LOL.
