Hardwood in Tri-Cities, TN Area

Did you ever find a supplier in the Tri-Cities or Southwest VA area? I have been trying to locate one as well, i have also been looking in eastern KY. The only one that i have found so far is Bannish Rickard Lumber on State street Bristol,TN
If you ever find somewhere else, please let me know.

I have been looking in that area for a friend and found about 8 in and around JC.
I didn’t limit my search to “Hardwood” or such, I went to the source, “Sawmills near Telford, TN.”

Lot’s of sawmills have kilns and will sell small lots if you don’t need it planed and jointed S2s or S4S.

That part of the country is so covered up in hardwood I never thought about it being hard to find someone to sell you some.

Going to be leaving L.A. (that’s Lower Aladamnbama Ya’ll) the land of nothing but pine and more pine and moving to Greenevile Tn. I thought I would be in hardwood heaven….
Have you tried Craigs list? I have seen a few hobby type sawers advertising there….

There are tons of sawmills around that will sell you green or air-dried locally available woods. Getting kiln-dried and more exotic stuff seems tough though. The Heartwood is near my house and I e-mailed one of the members of their artisan guild that had a nice walnut chest on display there. He said he gets most of his from Bannish Rickard in Bristol. I went by there on a Saturday, but they were already closed. I haven’t had a chance to go back by there yet.

I cut, dry, and sell hardwood for woodworkers, and advertise on Craigslist. A lot of Sawyers use Craigslist.

I’m just down the road from you near Knoxville. Plenty of air dried hardwood around me. What kind you looking for? Here’s how i find lumber. Go to a fast food joint on the outskirt of town EARLY in the morning. Just ask the coffee drinkers if they know someone who has any hardwood. You’ll be suprised what you may find. Thats how i found 16”x10’x4/4 mulberry had been in a barn for 6 years.
