Found an easier way to locate wood suppliers in my state vice wood finder & wood web sites.
Think key search terms like hardwood or softwood suppliers, and your state eliminates lot of big box stores. No, does not eliminate all internet search chaff does show what is available in your state.

I have known about this place ten miles from my house, have to call for appointment and once had $250 minimum purchase requirement.

I refined that searching hardwood suppliers, county, state.

While not all finds valuable to me, simple phone call to place or e-mail that interest me will save time money and effort.

Might give it a try and see what happens.
